Some call it California rockabilly, others refer to it as “cork country”—but however you describe it, the faces and wine legacies of The Silverado Pickups are familiar to fans of both music and wine.

The Pickups are a group of Napa wine industry veterans who regularly indulge in their second-favorite pastime. The band is made up of vintners and professionals from Silver Oak, Gargiulo Vineyards, Cuvaison and more.

The Pickups are more than just a hobby. The group has performed at BottleRock Napa Valley, opened for Leon Russell and Tim McGraw and recently recorded their first album, Bacon, Butter and Salt, in Nashville. Their repertoire is a mix of covers and original songs, and they’ve been at it since 2010.

Forty couples will each pay $25,000 to take part in this exclusive one-of-a-kind event at D’Amico’s The Continental. The evening begins with a cocktail reception followed by a multi-course sit-down meal. The wines being poured hail from former NWWF Honored Vintners, representing a selection spanning the past 24 years. The event will conclude with a remarkable musical performance by The Silverado Pickups, a kickoff to the 25th anniversary season of the Naples Winter Wine Festival.

Part of the cutting-edge Third Street dining scene, D’Amico’s The Continental is famous for its elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, its carefully curated selection of Wagyu cuts, prime and grass-fed beef and its fresh catches of fish and shellfish. The chef-driven menu is a modern and innovative take on the classic steakhouse.

Don’t miss the opportunity to be one of only 40 couples to experience this amazing evening. Your toes will tap, your palate will tingle and your generosity will have a lasting effect.
