/PRNewswire/ —

Wynn Las Vegas

is partnering with

Napa Valley’s

famed

Domain H.

William Harlan

for an ultra-exclusive wine dinner series launching this fall. The series offers attendees an opportunity to sample a variety of the most elusive labels from Harlan’s time-honored wineries – including Harlan Estate, BOND and Promontory – paired with specially curated menus from Wynn’s acclaimed chefs.

The series includes three once-in-a-lifetime dining experiences hosted by a key figure from Domain H.

William Harlan

and a Wynn executive chef. Priced at

$10,000

per guest, each intimate dinner is limited to 20 guests and will take place in a unique setting at Wynn Las Vegas. In addition, guests will be granted immediate membership to the featured winery’s wine club – bypassing the lengthy waitlist.

The three dinners include:

Harlan Estate with Chef

Mark LoRusso

–

Saturday, Sept. 10

Following a

Krug Champagne

reception, guests will be escorted to the two-story Encore Duplex suite for dinner and a vintage wine pairing hosted by SW Steakhouse executive chef

Mark LoRusso

and

Amanda Harlan

, second generation proprietor of Domain H.

William Harlan

.

Harlan Estate was founded in 1984 by H.

William Harlan

with the mission to establish one of the finest winegrowing estates in America; to begin with virgin hillside land and create something separate from the past. Each year, the wine of Harlan Estate strives to faithfully express the abiding character of the land, and the distinctive attributes of the vintage. Immensely fresh and classically proportioned, this seamless, supple wine manifests an aromatic purity with signature overtones of forest floor.

Guests will enjoy a six-course menu inspired by Harlan Estate’s Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend, with dishes including a seafood trio appetizer followed by

Sheep’s Milk Ricotta Ravioli

with shaved white truffle and parmesan;

Pain de Mie-Crusted Wild Turbot Filet

with braised leeks and beurre rouge sauce;

Boneless Quail

with wild mushrooms; a tasting of

Japanese Kobe Beef

alongside black truffle whipped potatoes; and

Speculoos Tart

with plum, blackberries and vanilla cream. Each course will be accompanied by a specially paired vintage from Harlan Estate.

BOND with Chef

Joshua Smith

–

Saturday, Oct. 15

Following a

Krug Champagne

reception, guests will be escorted to the picturesque 18
^th
hole of Wynn Golf Club for a multi-course dinner and vintage wine pairing hosted by

Cory Empting

, Managing Director of Winegrowing for Domain H.

William Harlan

, and Delilah at Wynn Las Vegas’s executive chef

Joshua Smith

.

Chef Smith will prepare a one-of-a-kind menu that highlights peak seasonal ingredients, worthy of BOND’s five distinctive wines.

The enduring vision at BOND—established in 1996 by H.

William Harlan

and founding winemaker Bob Levy—is to create a portfolio of wines that are ‘Grand Cru’ in quality, all under the aegis of one philosophy, one team, one mark. Sourced from select hillside estates throughout the

Napa Valley

, the Cabernet Sauvignon wines of BOND vividly convey the distinctive characters of their respective sites of origin.

Promontory with Chef

Min Kim

–

Saturday, Nov. 12

Guests will be welcomed with a Dom Pérignon Champagne reception before being escorted to a yet-to-be disclosed location for a multi-course dinner and wine pairing experience hosted by Mizumi’s executive chef

Min Kim

and

Will Harlan

, family member, owner, and Managing Director of Domain H.

William Harlan

.

Known for his artistry as well as his expert use of ingredients, Chef Kim’s elite menu will pair perfectly with the selection of Promontory blends.

Promontory is a world apart from the

Napa Valley

that most people experience. Within this secluded territory—near the heart of the valley, but completely hidden—two distinct fault lines mark the divides among volcanic, sedimentary, and metamorphic formations. Wine from the steep hillsides of Promontory reflects the many aspects of the territory: the wild freshness of its native surrounding forests, the cool moisture of the ephemeral fog, and the lifted minerality of its geologic underpinnings. Together, these aspects form the identity of Promontory; the feeling of an almost weightless structure, illuminated from within—an undefinable “otherness.”

Also included in the ticket price for each event is a one-night stay in a newly renovated

Wynn Tower Suite

room. For more information and to make reservations, please visit
