Napa Valley’s Premier Food & Wine Pairing Competition
HALL proudly hosted its 16th Cabernet Cookoff on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at its picturesque St. Helena tasting room. Presented by The Coeur Foundation, this lively and philanthropic food and wine competition brought together top Bay Area chefs, all cooking for a cause.
A total of 15 talented chef teams competed, each crafting a dish they believed paired best with HALL’s bold and expressive Jack’s Masterpiece Cabernet Sauvignon—a critically acclaimed wine celebrated by industry leaders. Guests enjoyed a delicious afternoon of tasting and voted to crown two People’s Choice Award winners, while a panel of four celebrity judges selected two Judges’ Choice winners. HALL kept the excitement going on social media, with @hallwines sharing vibrant, real-time moments and behind-the-scenes action from the event on Instagram.
This year’s event raised $55,000, which will be distributed to charities selected by the four winning chef teams.
