Tomatoville returns in 2026 at Hill Family Estate, bringing back one of Napa Valley’s most beloved farm to table wine dinners. Set beneath the shade of our iconic oak trees, this unforgettable outdoor evening celebrates estate wines, seasonal ingredients, and community. Guests will gather at a long communal table surrounded by vineyards for an immersive culinary experience that captures the spirit of late summer in Napa Valley.
Mark your calendars for August 14 and 15, Tomatoville is coming back to Hill Family Estate! Our beloved celebration of peak tomato season returns with two distinct events: an intimate farm-to-table wine dinner under the oaks (August 14) and our fun, family-friendly Build-Your-Own BLT gathering at The Estate Yountville (August 15).
An Evening Rooted in the Land
Tomatoville has become a signature summer event at Hill Family Estate, bringing together our family-farmed roots, exceptional wines, and the bounty of August harvest. This outdoor wine dinner in Napa Valley showcases what we do best: connecting agriculture, food, and wine in an authentic, welcoming setting and stands out among winery events that Napa Valley visitors look forward to each summer.
Last year, guests gathered around a rustic communal table set amongst our orchard and grapevines as Chef Itamar Abramovitch prepared a multi-course feast over an open flame. From halibut crudo with whole smoked pineapples to New York strip steaks grilled to perfection on his mobile smoker, Black Betty, each dish highlighted seasonal ingredients, with tomatoes taking center stage in true Tomatoville tradition.
What Makes Tomatoville Special
This isn’t your typical Yountville wine events experience. Tomatoville embodies the Hill Family Estate philosophy: approachable luxury rooted in genuine hospitality and farming heritage. The evening celebrates the connection between what we grow and what we pour, with each course thoughtfully paired with our estate wines.
The setting alone makes this a standout among Napa wine country events. Picture yourself dining al fresco as golden hour light filters through the oak trees, surrounded by vineyards and the season’s most vibrant produce. It’s the kind of evening that reminds you why Napa Valley is such a special place.
Daytime Fun: Build-Your-Own BLT at The Estate Yountville
Following the elegant evening dinner on August 14, join us for a more casual Tomatoville celebration on August 15, 2026, at The Estate Yountville. This Build-Your-Own BLT event brings together everything we love about summer in Napa: heirloom tomatoes at their peak, crispy bacon, refreshing frosé, and, of course, Hill Family Estate wines, making it one of the most anticipated Yountville wine events of the season.
Last year’s BLT gathering was a hit with guests of all ages. Picture a relaxed afternoon with live music, lawn games, and a wine raffle, all set against the backdrop of downtown Yountville. The star of the show? Creating your perfect BLT with premium ingredients and endless creative combinations.
This daytime event captures the fun, approachable side of Tomatoville while still celebrating the agricultural heritage and peak tomato season that make August special in wine country. Whether you’re bringing family, friends, or making it a solo tasting adventure, the BLT event offers a different way to experience Hill Family Estate’s hospitality within the broader calendar of Napa Valley events in August 2026.
Tomatoville is more than a seasonal gathering; it’s a signature summer celebration that brings together estate wines, fresh flavors, and the relaxed charm of Napa Valley. Guests attending this highly anticipated event can expect an elevated yet approachable Napa Valley wine tasting experience set against scenic vineyard views. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, exploring Napa Valley winery tours, or seeking memorable Napa Valley vineyard tastings, Tomatoville offers a unique opportunity to enjoy Hill Family Estate in full harvest-season spirit.
For visitors already in the region or planning for August travel, this event pairs perfectly with a curated day of boutique wineries that Napa Valley is known for.
