Black Tie Dinner 2025: Underground Holiday Wine Gala at Eberle Winery

Slip into your finest attire and descend into Paso Robles’ most magical venue on Saturday, December 6, 2025, for the Black Tie Dinner hosted by legendary vintner Gary Eberle. Celebrated as Mr. Eberle’s favorite night of the year, this intimate soirée marries world-class cuisine with the winery’s award-winning library wines inside the iconic 16,000-square-foot underground caves—transformed by a soaring 20-foot Christmas tree, twinkling lights, and candlelit limestone walls.

Executive Chef Justin Monson—known for his farm-to-table artistry on the Central Coast—has designed a decadent four-course menu that showcases the season’s freshest ingredients. Each course is meticulously paired with limited-release Eberle vintages, including the newly unveiled 2021 Estate Cabernet and the coveted 2019 Syrah, selected by Gary himself to complement the evening’s culinary arc. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a sparkling Cuvée Brut reception in the Grand Room, where live jazz sets an elegant tone before dinner.

Between courses, stroll through the festively lit barrel caverns, snap photos beneath the colossal tree, and raise a toast to old friends and new. A holiday marketplace in the gift alcove offers exclusive library wines, magnums perfect for gifting, and signed bottles for collectors. The night concludes with a candlelit dessert finale featuring spiced poached pear, caramel crèmeux, and Eberle’s signature port-style wine served with handmade truffles—guaranteeing sweet memories long after the last glass is poured.

Whether you’re a lifelong wine-club member or discovering Eberle for the first time, the Black Tie Dinner 2025 delivers an unforgettable blend of Paso Robles hospitality, culinary excellence, and holiday splendor. Seating is strictly limited; reserve early to secure your place at the most elegant underground celebration on the West Coast.
