A winery is more than just its wines, so its Cellar Club should be about more than just wine. When you become part of the Cana’s Feast Cellar Club, you become part of a unique experience that celebrates wine in the context of food and friendship. Each quarter, Chef Wendy Bennett works to create specific recipes that highlight the culinary relevance of each new wine. Below are links to a number of these recipes from previous parties and the specific wines they were paired with.
