The Crush Challenge is back for 2015!
Hosted by ZD Wines along with special celebrity guests and riders, the Crush Challenge presented by Amgen is a fundraising bicycle ride, wine and food experience of a lifetime.
Join us Saturday, October 10th, 2015 and spend a full day in the beautiful Napa Valley helping us raise awareness for our deserving beneficiaries; The deLeuze Family Endowment for the Non-Toxic Cure for Lymphoma, Amgen's Breakaway from Cancer and its partners, The Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing, and The Boys and Girls Club of the Napa Valley. Thanks to the generous support of our partners, 100% of the event revenue from tickets and auction activities will be received by the charities.
Experience the beauty of Napa Valley Wine Country during the time known as "Crush" on a private cycling excursion (38-miles) that will depart from the Veterans Home of California, located on the hill above the Napa Valley's dining mecca, Yountville. Take the wheel of our hosts as you pass through vineyard lined avenues sharing the road with the friends of The Crush Challenge, including cycling legends Alex Steida and more. Complete SAG support will be provided by Napa River Velo, as well as a unique stop-over ('rest stop') at the ZD Rutherford Estate.
For those of you wishing to skip the ride, we will again be hosting our celebrity guest-lead wine tasting at the ZD Rutherford Estate. Enjoy a broad selection of ZD Wines, including library vintages and large format bottles paired with delectable small bites, all while overlooking the vines. Your wine tasting includes lunch with the rest of the Crush Challenge participants for a complete day of the finest food and wine the Napa Valley has to offer.
Following the ride, a quintessential Napa Valley farm to table lunch will be provided by our local chef supporters, including Oenotri Napa, as participants share their stories of the "Crush". Post-ride entertainment and delicious wines from ZD will round out the afternoon as up and down the valley the last of the 2015 wine grape harvest will be coming off the vines.
Perhaps the highlight of our event will be the private wine reception with entertainment, dinner, and auction at the ZD Carneros Estate. Join us here at the private residence of the deLeuze Family for a reception on the extensive grounds adjacent to the grand Victorian home on the property originally built in 1897.
The evening will be capped off with a multi-course wine-paired dinner provided by our Team of Napa Valley Chefs, the deLeuze Family, and friends. Experience expertly paired cuisine from a number of our best restaurants and the chefs behind them.
Thank you for your support of The Crush Challenge. -
