We’re teaming up with Banshee Wines on September 17th on the Layla patio for a winemaker dinner that’s anything but ordinary. Delight in an immersive tasting event with six bold wines, six chef-curated stations and Banshee Winemaker Jake Lachowitzer, ready to share the stories (and secrets) behind the bottles. In true Banshee style we’ll be spinning vinyl all night long, so bring your favorite records and set the soundtrack for an evening to remember. Purchase tickets here.

Sophisticated Living:
“Cheers to Another Year: Birthday Wine-ing in Sonoma”

Layla Menu Spread

Take part in the itinerary set by Sophisticated Living’s Editor-in-Chief, Bridget Williams in celebration of her 40th birthday – “a trip that struck just the right balance of revelry and relaxation.” Read along as she stays central in Sonoma at MacArthur Place and travels to local wineries, chosen based on their reputation and their settings.

“Guest rooms are the definition of cool and comfortable California contemporary. Muted early colors predominate and are mated with sumptuous textures of stone, leather, and thick tufted plaid carpet underfoot. We quickly adopted a nightly routine of opening a bottle procured from a day’s adventure, lighting a fire, and putting our feet up on a bouclé ottoman paired with a swivel bucket chair. Heavenly.”
