Join us November 15-18, 2018 to celebrate the wines of the Northern Rhône Valley, for a great cause.

‘La Reboule’ is a traditional end of harvest celebration in France’s Northern Rhône Valley where grape harvesters, winemakers, and cellar staff get together at the end of a successful vintage to toast with great food, wine, & revelry.

Sommeliers Dustin Wilson & Thomas Pastuszak are bringing this storied tradition along with the best producers from the Northern Rhône to New York City via a weekend of fantastic wine tastings, dinners & festivities. Reboule du Rhône will showcase these amazing producers & their special wines for enthusiasts & collectors alike, while raising money for a charity Thomas & Dustin both share great support for: No Kid Hungry.

The second annual Reboule du Rhône will feature a series of events throughout the weekend that bring together a star-packed lineup of renowned winemakers, culinary leaders, and the wine industry’s best sommeliers. Several of the Northern Rhône Valley’s greatest producers will be in attendance including Olivier Clape, Andre Perret, Christine Vernay, Guillaume Monier, Antoine Graillot, Julien Cecillon, and many others, showcasing their wines for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
