An Evening with The Hess Collection - Milwaukee

Discover the Mountain. Experience the Legacy.

Join us for an exceptional evening exploring the distinguished wines of The Hess Collection, a family-owned Napa Valley estate whose story is deeply rooted in a passion for fine wine, art, and the rugged beauty of the mountain vineyards.

Founded in 1978 by Donald Hess, The Hess Collection has built its reputation around an uncompromising belief that great wines begin with great vineyards. At the heart of that philosophy is Mt. Veeder, one of Napa Valley’s most dramatic and distinctive mountain appellations. High above the valley floor, steep slopes, thin volcanic soils, cool nights, and long growing seasons challenge the vines—and reward them with wines of remarkable concentration, structure, minerality, and depth.

For decades, Hess has embraced the demanding character of Mt. Veeder, allowing the mountain to become an unmistakable signature of their wines. The result is a portfolio that balances power with elegance and richness with structure—wines that speak clearly of their place.

Will Fuhrman, Sales Manager for The Hess Collection, will lead the tasting, sharing the history of the Hess family, the philosophy behind the estate, and the unique influence of Mt. Veeder on these remarkable wines.
