Après Harvest Party 2026 at Hess Persson Estates celebrates the winery’s 45th harvest on Mount Veeder with a festive mountain-inspired soirée. Guests can take in sweeping mountain views while enjoying festive bites, live music from a DJ, and a lineup of exciting new wine releases.
The celebration marks the debut of the inaugural Lion Tamer Nemea Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, along with an early taste of the 2024 vintage of The Lioness, Hess Persson Estates’ iconic Napa Valley Chardonnay. Additional new releases will also be available to sample.
Inspired by founder Donald Hess’s Swiss roots, the event embraces an alpine atmosphere and encourages mountain-chic or après-style attire. Guests can lean into cozy cashmere, shearling, and chalet-inspired looks while celebrating another memorable harvest on Mount Veeder.
