NAPA, Calif. (PRWEB) April 18, 2018 -- ZD Wines today unveiled the leading Napa Valley restaurants and wineries participating in the upcoming Crush Challenge Food & Wine Marketplace taking place Mother’s Day Weekend on Saturday, May 12, from 12 – 3 p.m. at the Picnic Grounds of the Veterans Home of California in Yountville. This year’s Crush Challenge restaurant partners include Angèle, Celadon, Cook St. Helena, Eight Noodle Shop, Kollar Chocolates, Heritage Eats, Il Posto Trattoria, Trade Brewing, and Woodhouse BBQ. Winery partners include Baldacci Family Vineyards, Clos du Val, Pride Mountain Vineyards, Silver Oak & Twomey, St. Supéry, Truchard, Vineyard 29, and ZD Wines. The charity event is the ultimate tasting experience of sumptuous samples from restaurants as well as face-to-face tastings with winemakers.

“The Crush Challenge really is all about bringing awareness and funding to charity organizations that support cancer research, provide tools and inspiration to people living with Parkinson’s, and support programs for our local youth,” said ZD Wines President, Brett deLeuze. “This can all be done while enjoying a day of incredible food and wine experiences that cannot be found anywhere else. We invite everyone to join us for a beautiful day in the Napa Valley.”

100% of the net proceeds from Crush Challenge go to charities including the deLeuze Family Endowed Professorship for a Non-Toxic Cure for Lymphoma, The Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley. The event was originally planned for October 2017 but was rescheduled due to fires in the area. The next annual event will go back to the original October date.

The complete ZD Wines Crush Challenge event offerings include:

  • The Ride // 9AM-12PM - Experience the beauty of Napa Valley during the springtime on a private cycling excursion (27- or 38-mile routes).

Cost: $175 per person, with commemorative jersey, $125 per person without jersey, or $25 per person with fundraising efforts. Cost includes access to Food & Wine Marketplace.
  • Private Barrel Tasting // 10AM-12PM - ZD Wines’ barrel tasting is hosted by ZD Winemaster, Robert deLeuze, and Hell's Kitchen Winner, Celebrity Chef Rock Harper, at ZD’s Rutherford Estate.

The wine tasting includes access to the Food & Wine Marketplace as well, for a complete day of the finest food and wine the Napa Valley has to offer. Cost: $195 per person.
  • Food & Wine Marketplace // 12PM-3PM - Local vintners and favorite restaurants bring their tasting rooms and kitchens to you to create a marketplace unlike anywhere else.

About ZD Wines
ZD Wines is owned and operated by three generations of the deLeuzes, a Napa Valley family dedicated to sustainability, innovation, and philanthropy. The winery lies in the Rutherford region of Napa, and their gorgeous vineyard estate includes sweeping valley floor views. The deLeuze family has a passion for producing world-class wines from a variety of regions, including their organically certified estates located in Rutherford and Carneros, as well as vineyards in Santa Barbara, Monterey, and Sonoma Counties. Focused primarily on three varietals (Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir), their innovative approach to winemaking is highlighted by Abacus, a solera-style wine currently containing 25 vintages of Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition, ZD Wines releases each year a winery-exclusive bottling under the Rosa Lee label offering single-vineyard wines. From organic farming and renewable energy, to a hands-on approach to winemaking, to hosting premier fundraising events in Napa Valley, the deLeuze family is dedicated to their craft. In 2018, ZD Wines celebrates 50 years of winemaking, and will be releasing its first ever Sparkling Cuvee to commemorate this milestone. ZD Wines can be found online at ZDWines.com, on Facebook at Facebook.com/ZDWines, on Instagram @ZDWines, and on Twitter @ZDWines.
