Hundred Acre Wine Dinner in Ketchum, Idaho at Sun Valley Wine Co.
Sun Valley Wine Co. in Ketchum, Idaho hosted an exclusive Hundred Acre wine dinner on March 13, 2026, bringing together rare Napa Valley wines and a chef-driven multi-course menu in an intimate setting. With just fifteen guests in attendance, the evening offered a rare opportunity to experience some of the most sought-after wines in California alongside thoughtful food pairings created for each pour.
An Exclusive Hundred Acre Wine Experience in Sun Valley
Hundred Acre has built a cult following for its limited-production Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery is known for its collectability, meticulous vineyard selection, and consistent critical acclaim. For wine lovers, a Hundred Acre dinner is not a typical tasting. It is a chance to experience highly allocated wines that are often difficult to access.
At Sun Valley Wine Co., guests explored a lineup that included wines from Summer Dreams, Fortunate Son, and Hundred Acre. The dinner also highlighted what makes luxury wine events at Sun Valley Wine Co. unique: small guest counts, polished service, and pairings designed to showcase both the wine and the kitchen.
Because Sun Valley Wine Co. is one of the few places in Sun Valley to offer these wines for retail purchase, the partnership made for a natural fit.

- Summer Dreams 2023 “Walking on Venice Beach” Sauvignon Blanc — tropical fruit, green apple, tangerine, bright acidity, mineral notes, and a long creamy finish
