“Northwest Burgundian”
Winemaker Dinner
THURS. OCT. 23 2025 - 6pm and 6:15pm
An Evening with Hyland Vineyards - Willamette Valley, Oregon
Join us at Maximilien for an unforgettable multi-course dinner featuring the acclaimed wines of Hyland Vineyards, guided by special guests Damien Davis and Jessica Endsworth of Hyland Estates, who will share insights into the vineyard’s history, philosophy, and celebrated bottlings.
Chef Fidel Mendoza has crafted a Bourgogne-inspired menu to complement each glass — from classic Jambon persillé, to roasted scallops with corn velouté, braised rabbit à la bourguignonne, and a decadent poached pear finale.
All of this for just $100 per guest (wine pairings included) — an exceptional value for an evening of fine dining, conversation with the winemaker, and sweeping views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains.
Seats are limited — reserve your table today.
About Hyland Vineyards:
Founded in 1971, Hyland Vineyards is one of Oregon’s most historic and expansive vineyards, with over 185 acres under vine in the McMinnville AVA. Its old-vine Pinot Noir, rooted in volcanic Jory soils, produces wines of exceptional depth and character.
Committed to sustainability, Hyland practices organic and biodynamic farming and is certified LIVE, Salmon-Safe, and Bee Friendly Farming. Guided by a “land, not hand” philosophy, the wines reflect the vineyard’s unique terroir and over five decades of history.
