Wine & Spirits

A toast to the Berkeley Wine Festival!

On March 16, 2013, the Claremont Hotel & Spa in Berkeley, California, kicked off its very spirited annual dinner series, 'The Berkeley Wine Festival,' featuring more than 45 wines from a number of high-profile wineries in Sonoma, Napa and the Central Coast, such as Hanzell, Frogs Leap and Silver Oak.  Guests can savor vintage wines paired with tasty culinary creations from local Berkeley chefs, under the direction of Chef Scott Quinn, who is quickly building a reputation at the Claremont for his exquisite signature dishes.

 

   

 

 

You may have missed a few dinners in March, but there are plenty of wine dinners in the works for April and May.  (See the schedule below.)

And what better way to top off a delicious dinner and your favorite bottles of wine than with a cozy, restful night at the Claremont Hotel & Spa, once a romantic castle during the Gold Rush era, offering up stunning views of the San Francisco Bay.  To read more about all the creature comforts waiting for you at the Claremont Hotel & Spa, or to book a room, click here.
