VINE & DINE FOR 10

Behind the Vines for 10 in Sonoma

Great wines begin in the vineyard. Experience an authentic vineyard immersion with veritable denizens of the dirt and their Sonoma neighbors. Dust off those boots! This is no ordinary dirt … it’s the soil that turns into the liquid gold in your glass!

Former KTVU news anchor and Donna’s close friend Laura Zimmerman and her husband Jeff invite you to “vine and dine” at their Sonoma property. Vineyard exploration, sumptuous food, effusive conversation, and more than a couple vintages from the cellar.

You’ll be wined and dined ‘til your heart’s content—but no stuffy black tie, white table cloths or fancy airs found here. Rock your boots for a casual “vintage fest” in the bucolic vines.

Will it be lunch amidst the vines or supper as twilight falls over the Valley of the Moon?

• VIP visit to Three Fat Guys:
  • Private “sesh” with Tony Moll, one of the three Green Bay Packer linebacker proprietors who will warm your hearts with insider NFL tales and rustic hospitality
• Insider’s experience at One Oak Vineyard:
  • Vineyard walk to explore two varietals of grapes
  • Gathering on the terrace
  • Leisurely lunch or dinner among the vines
  • Special wines from the Zimmerman’s grapes and other local wines
  • Fireside chat and sweets
• Hosts: Jeff & Laura Zimmerman and Tony Moll
• 10 guests

Considerations: Winner may choose lunch or dinner. Mutually agreeable date prior to October 2025. Transportation not included.

THANK YOU: Jeff and Laura Zimmerman/One Oak Vineyard, Three Fat Guys

NEW ENGLAND CLAMBAKE

“Buy a Spot” Party with Donna and Chris

Come on out for a traditional clambake that will conjure up thoughts of salty sea captains and screeching seagulls. Moscow Mules, ice-cold beer, savory appetizers set the mood.

Grab a mallet and challenge Chris and Donna to some croquet action. It's east coast wicket warfare at its finest – may the best seafarer win!

Then tie on your bib, relax at the net-strewn lantern-lit table, and prepare to indulge on fresh shellfish and specialty dishes, like Alicia’s steamed mussels in a red wine sauce with chorizo sausage. And no Clambake is complete without buttery red potatoes, fresh corn on the cob, and strawberry shortcake. 

Come on, shell out a little for a shuckin’ good time!

Deets: Saturday, April 5, 2025. Haggerty home in Lafayette. Up to 50 guests. Price per person: $200.
