MONTECRISTO ALMIGHTY – CIGAR BRAND CELEBRATES 80 YEARS

A very fitting bash is taking place to mark eight decades of Montecristo. A truckload of gourmet food, Californian wines and (of course) Cuban cigars will converge at Charlie Palmer’s Harvest Inn resort in St. Helena, in the heart of northern California’s scenic wine country. The May 4-6 celebration is at the second annual weekend gathering for luxury lifestyle aficionados hosted at the venue and includes a multi- course gala dinner by Wolff and pairings of wines and cigars with Ajay Patel, overlooking hundreds of acres of vineyards and the Mayacamas Mountains. Tickets range from US$70 to $350 per person and may be purchased for specific events, with two- and three-night resort packages priced at up to $3,414 including premium accommodations at Harvest Inn by Charlie Palmer, plus dinners and tastings for two also available.
