We are thrilled to be hosting our inaugural The Palm Event at Inglenook in Napa Valley. On the prestigious lawn you will find some of the finest automobiles over the last century. While admiring the cars, you can indulge in some of the finest food, wine, fashion, and art that Napa Valley has to offer.

Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, Inglenook’s roots are deeply embedded in the rich soils of the Rutherford Bench, a land famed for its exceptional terroir. This unique stretch of earth, where climate and soil harmonize to produce grapes of unparalleled quality, is at the core of our heritage. Our dedication to crafting exquisite wines begins with this land, making each bottle a testament to the Rutherford Bench’s natural grandeur and the meticulous stewardship we uphold. Welcome to Inglenook, where legacy and terroir speak through every sip.

The Coppola family's bond with Inglenook is not just one of ownership, but of deep, personal resonance that dates back to their first bottle shared at a family meal. It is a story of renaissance and stewardship, where Francis Ford Coppola's vision to restore the estate's legacy has been infused with the same passion and diligence that characterizes his films. Each vine planted and bottle produced at Inglenook is a chapter in the Coppola family narrative, a testament to their commitment to excellence and the art of winemaking. At Inglenook, the Coppolas don't just craft wines; they cultivate a family legacy that harmonizes with the land's natural grandeur.

Join us at INGLENOOK for an unforgettable night with Tony Award Winner, Alan Cumming.

Alan Cumming is beyond eclectic. His most recent projects include hosting (and slaying fashion-wise) the global cultural phenomenon The Traitors, creating a solo dance theatre piece about the Scottish bard Robert Burns, lip-synching the protagonist in a documentary and producing a podcast series about a sperm bank heist. He will soon be seen as Sigmund Freud in the film V13, as an elderly woman with a pet crab in the Disney kids series Robogobo and heard in a duet with Gaelic rapper Griogair Labhruidh! Perhaps not surprisingly, Time Magazine called him one of the three most fun people in show business (the others were Cher and Stanley Tucci!)

His screen work ranges from art house to blockbuster, cult to mainstream, but his performances are always indelible and some immortal: Mr Floop in Spy Kids, Eli in The Good Wife, Nightcrawler in X2: X Men United, Sebastian in The High Life, ‘O’ in Sex and the City, Boris in Goldeneye, King James in Doctor Who, Sandy Frink in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, Mayor Menlove in Schmigadoon and himself on Broad City.
