CityGate Grille heralds in its 2026 Wine Dinner series, commencing with our long-awaited PIUS Estate Wine Dinner. This event will unfold as an evening of refined elegance, where heritage, craftsmanship, and culinary artistry meet in perfect harmony. Guests will be welcomed into an intimate setting designed to celebrate the winery’s dedication to terroir, precision, and timeless expression.
Each wine will be thoughtfully introduced as a reflection of place and philosophy, revealing layers of complexity, purity, and quiet power. The chef’s tasting menu mirrors this restraint and sophistication, allowing every pairing to enhance—not overshadow—the integrity of each glass and each taste.
As courses progress, the experience will evolve into a graceful dialogue between vineyard and kitchen, guided by storytelling, education, and sensory discovery. The atmosphere will be one of effortless luxury.
