Join us for a five-course dinner built around one of Walla Walla Valley’s most celebrated Syrah houses: Reynvaan Family Vineyards. Each course is paired to showcase the range of Reynvaan’s estate wines, from the cobblestone-driven depth of In The Rocks Vineyard to the structure and freshness of Foothills in the Sun. The evening centers on a rare pour: the inaugural release from R|A Family Wines, the JDA Project Syrah. AQUA is the only restaurant group with access to it, making this dinner the first chance anywhere to taste it alongside a menu built to match its intensity.
Winemaker Matt Reynvaan will guide each pour and pairing across the evening. It’s a hands-on night, in keeping with a winery that farms and crafts every bottle the same way: with patience, precision, and an unwavering commitment to the land.
