Strange as it may seem something magical happens at the Pink Party every year. It’s not just the wine, though it delights in shades of Rosé, bouquet and flavor, a harbinger of the summer to come. It’s not just the gardens on a sunny day in spring, festooned with peonies, roses, lilacs, snowballs, azaleas, not the vibrant flavors of the food, not even the curiously wonderful thing that everyone around you is wearing some shade of pink - that there are so many shades of pink! . The desire to just stop worrying about all there is to worry about and just have fun - smile and laugh for a few hours with other like minded humans - just never gets old, and when you give over to it, never fails to lift the heart. Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Barndiva Gardens on May 4th. It was a beautiful lift into the season. We loved having you all here!
Barndiva’s Geoffrey Hales and Wine Director Emily Carlson
Emily Carlson, Barndiva's Wine Director, embodies a passion that extends well beyond curating an exquisite selection of wines from the Sonoma and Mendocino winesheds for our annual collaborative wine events. Her commitment to building community comes from cultivating meaningful relationships with local producers, enhancing our wine list through fostering a sustainable, inclusive environment that celebrates the artistry of winemaking. Her commitment to community is also reflected in her tireless support for regenerative farming practices and the promotion of women winemakers.
Our heartfelt gratitude to the wineries and winemakers who generously donated bottles of the Rosé for a multiple case raffle in support of Corazón Healdsburg.
Thank you for your commitment to Healdsburg and Sonoma County, and for sharing your beautiful Rosé with us..
If you’ve been to a Barndiva event or dined with us in the Studio, you know Florals are a big part of our story. We grow them at our farm in Philo and we support local regenerative flower farmers throughout the year in our food, cocktail and event programs.
The talent behind both our farm program and the extraordinary arrangements at The Pink Party, Féte Blanc and The Sparkle Party is one Misha Vega, aka @philo.flora.flowers. A consummate plantswoman (sold out at her plant sale this spring in Boonville) Misha also sources and designs gorgeous wedding and private party floral installations, many of them here at Barndiva. She can be reached at Misha.vega@gmail.com.
And last but never least, Chef David Morales and his dedicated kitchen and service teams delighted guests with an array of exquisite bites at the Pink Party. We take immense pride in the culinary creations they bring to our weddings, private events, and the Studio Barndiva restaurant seasonal menus. See you in the Studio!
