DINNER

|
Art
of Enchantment
For one enchanted evening, a beautiful, stone Victorian
house on Lodi Lane in St. Helena will become the center
of the Bay Area art world. Join legendary gallerist,
collector, dealer and raconteur John Berggruen and his
wife Gretchen as they host a dinner party for 8 and
a conversation with Bay Area art star (and recently
elected Oxbow School Trustee) Christopher Brown. For
more than 35 years, John Berggruen has represented 19th
and 20th century stand-out artists and their work to
a Bay Area, national and even international clientele.
You can’t get much bluer-chip than Bischoff, Calder,
Carnwath, Mangold, Lichtenstein, Martin, Motherwell,
Oldenburg, Otterness and Ruscha. To that list add Christopher
Brown. Depending on the weather, your dinner with the
(art) stars will convene in the Berggruens lovely dining
room or outside in the garden. Either way, for a lover
of art, this promises to be one enchanted evening

DINNER
WITH MARGRIT & ROBERT MONDAVI & MANUEL NERI |
|
Dinner
for Eight at the Summit of the Napa Valley
Join Napa Valley legends Robert and Margrit Mondavi
at their home on the summit of Wappo Hill for an elegant
dinner, wines specially selected from the Mondavi personal
library, and stimulating conversation with San Francisco
figurative artist Manuel Neri. If the American wine
industry has a dean, it is surely Robert Mondavi. He,
along with family, friends, colleagues and competitors—and
Margrit, of course!--transformed the Napa Valley into
one of the world’s premium wine producing regions.
Not content, the Mondavis have been instrumental in
transforming the Valley into a center of art and culture
as well, including major philanthropic support of local
arts organizations such as Copia: The American Center
for Wine, Food and the Arts; the Napa Valley Opera House;
and of course our very own Oxbow School. “Hospitality”
is synonymous with “Mondavi” and you will
dine on the creativity of the Mondavis’ finest
chefs and feast your mind on conversation with one of
the Bay Area’s leading artists who has explored
the possibilities of the human figure in every medium
imaginable.

CHEZ
PANISSE |
|
Dinner
for 10 Where the Legend Was Born
In 1971, when Alice Waters and a few idealistic friends
decided to open a restaurant in colorful Berkeley, who
could have known that they were also starting a revolution?
From the beginning, Alice and her partners and friends
(including Patricia Curtan, wife of Oxbow’s own
Stephen Thomas) tried to do things the way they would
like them done at a dinner party at home. They were
convinced then that the best tasting food is organically
grown, harvested in ecologically sound ways, and handled
by people who are taking care of the land for future
generations. Vegetables fresh out of local gardens,
fruit right off the branch and vine, fish straight from
the sea—more than 60 suppliers now provide Alice’s
restaurant with ingredients redolent with goodness,
challenging the creativity and restraint of Chez Panisse’s
master chefs, trained by Alice herself, to keep it simple—and
simply unforgettable. Dinner for 10 at Chez Panisse:
where America’s ideas about good food changed
forever.

PARIS |

An
Artful Week for Two in Left Bank Luxury
Step
back into a bygone era of luxury living in the City
of Lights’ famed Rive Gauche—a wondrous
week in the Cristal Luxury Suite. The Cristal was built
in 1625 for the nobleman in the building, during the
Baroque era of Moliere, the Three Musketeers and Louis
XIV, the Sun King. Restored to perfection, absolutely
no expense or effort has been spared to make this on
of the finest properties in the finest part of Paris.
Located in the most coveted neighborhood in all of Paris,
the Faubourg St. Germain area of the Left Bank. Shopping,
museum-going, fine dining café-ing or simply
strolling, the neighborhoods of the Left Bank and Ile
St. Louis are endlessly fascinating. And did we mention
gallery hopping? Join Paris-based artist Tatiana Trouvé
in her studio for coffee and conversation, organized
by Galerie Almine Rech. Trouvé will be featured
in this year’s Venice Biennale and in the special
exhibitions section of Art Basel. Then, inspired, set
out on a specially crafted tour of the Left Bank gallery
scene.

LONDON |

With Big
Ben Over Your Shoulder: An Artful Tour of London for
Two
Fly round trip on all-First-Class EOS Airlines from
JFK in NYC to close-in Stanstead—just the first
leg on a remarkable journey into London and its thriving
art scene. Near Picadilly Square, you will take a tour
with the Director of Hauser & Worth Gallery, whose
represented artists include Louise Bourgeois, Roni Horn,
Paul McCarthy and Raymond Pettibon. Then, a short London-taxi
ride to Sadie Coles Gallery (Richard Prince, Laura Owens,
Ugo Rondinone, and white-hot John Currin). Visit famed
Whitechapel Art Gallery and, accompanied by its Exhibitions
Coordinator, learn how and why it has become one of
the most talked-about museums of contemporary art in
London. Have a pre-completion look at its major expansion
project, deemed by the Financial Times of London to
cement “… the Gallery’s claim to be
the East End’s crucible of contemporary art.”
Your guide while in the East End will be art expert
Natasha O’Connor, a familiar figure on the East
End scene. With the companionable Natasha leading the
way, you will visit an artist’s studio. Maybe
it will be Gary Hume, or Darren Almond or even Rebecca
Warren—Turner Prize nominees all.

A
Round of Golf at Mayacama Golf Club with Christopher
Brown as your Fourth
Three
lucky golfers get to spend a memorable day at Macayama
Golf Club with Christopher Brown. Challenge yourself
to eighteen holes of Jack Nicklaus mastery set into
an awe inspiring natural terrain. Approximately 675
acres of pristine, oak-studded Sonoma foothills provide
the canvas for what the Golden Bear calls a “modern
classic”. Mayacama was recently rated number six
by Golfweek Magazine for the best residential courses
in the US. In the classic tradition, Mayacama is committed
to preserving the age-old traditions of golf and is
thus considered a “pure” golf club and is
a walking only facility with professional caddies.
Includes
lunch for four at the club house and two bottles of
Mayacama vintner member wines.
Foursome

Rocky
Mountain High
Near fabled Vail, high in the Rockies, nestles the deluxe
Beaver Creek Resort—your headquarters for a week
of Rocky Mountain summer fun. In the winter, it’s
ski, ski, ski. But during the warm summer days and cool
mountain evenings, it’s hike, swim, raft, kayak,
rock-climb, tennis, bike, gondola ride, golf, fly-fish,
explore, trail ride, hot-air balloon, backcountry jeep,
shop, spa. Or you could just relax and let the 11,000+foot
peaks inspire you. With accommodations for up to 8,
your deluxe condominium features 4 bedrooms and 4 baths
and is close by the lively Beaver Creek community that
features outstanding boutique shopping and more than
two-dozen fine restaurants. A highlight of your dining
experience will be dinner at Larkspur, one of Beaver
Creek’s leading dining destinations. And the high
point of your once-in-a-lifetime experience will be
a private tour of the Logan Collection—a private,
7,500-square-foot museum situated on the property of
Vicki and Kent Logan, who made headlines last year with
their announcement of a $60 million bequest to the Denver
Art Museum. Intuitive and imaginative collectors, art
acquired by the Logans has turned up in the permanent
collections of the Denver Art Museum, SF MoMA and the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art. High on life and high
on art, high in the Rockies.
