Steakhouse 55 has a new culinary adventure to experience with the new Winemaker Dinner Series at the Disneyland Hotel. This new experience will be arriving in 2020.
This signature fine dining restaurant at the Disneyland Hotel, Steakhouse 55 will offer one-of-a-kind, multi-course menus, expertly paired to selections from renowned wineries. These experiences will be offered on specific nights. For each event, a visiting vintner will guide guests through each wine from grape to glass. They will also explain the pairing process for the meal.
The first experience will be focusing on Wente Vineyards and be offered on January 15, 2020. Wente Vineyards is the country’s longest, continuously operated, family-owned winery. It was founded in 1883. It blends innovation with classic winemaking practices. The Wente family draws from vineyards in the Livermore Valley and Arroyo Seco, Monterey appellations. Their portfolio of wines includes chardonnay, merlot, pinot noir, rosé, and more! Currently, the Wente Vineyards sends wine to over 75 countries around the globe! Aly Wente, senior brand manager, and fifth-generation winegrower will be sharing her family’s passion and stories about each wine throughout the night.
