Before opening Valette with brother Aaron Garzini in 2015, Chef Dustin honed his craft in some of the most celebrated restaurants on the West Coast, including the Michelin-starred Aqua in San Francisco and Napa Valley’s Bouchon. The Matheson followed in 2021 and became an instant sensation.

Join us for this exceptional opportunity to spend the evening with two stars of California food and wine, plus enjoy a menu crafted especially for the event to pair with the exclusive wines.
