Monarch to Welcome Chappellet for Intimate Napa Valley Wine Dinner

The October 21 dinner will pair wines from one of Napa Valley’s founding families with a six-

course tasting menu by Executive Chef Jason Rohan

DALLAS, TX (October 5, 2026) – Monarch, the Italian restaurant located 49 stories above

downtown Dallas, will welcome Chappellet for an intimate wine dinner on Wednesday,

October 21, bringing together the Napa Valley estate’s wines with a six-course tasting menu

from Executive Chef Jason Rohan.

Founded in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet, Chappellet has farmed the steep, rocky

slopes of Pritchard Hill for nearly six decades. The family was among the early pioneers to

recognize the potential of the elevated site, where the estate continues to produce wines

shaped by its distinctive terrain and sense of place.

April Collins, Director of Sales at Chappellet, will join guests at Monarch for the evening,

sharing the estate’s history and winemaking story while guiding diners through the featured

wines.

The evening will begin with a brief welcome reception, followed by a six-course tasting menu

curated by Chef Rohan, with each course thoughtfully paired with a Chappellet selection. The

dinner will offer guests an opportunity to experience the wines alongside Monarch’s modern

Italian cuisine in an intimate, communal setting overlooking downtown Dallas.
