Founder’s Dinner

October 16, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join Dr. Bob for an Exclusive Wine and Dining Experience!

We invite you to join us for a truly extraordinary evening — The Founder’s Dinner — an intimate, six-course, wine-paired celebration dedicated to the vision and legacy of Dr. Bob Jankelson, Founder of Tsillan Cellars and pioneer of the Lake Chelan Wine Valley.

This special version of our traditional Fall Winemaker’s Dinner will feature an exclusive selection of Reserve wines never offered before, highlighted by the Founder’s Reserve, a wine crafted in “secret” to honor Dr. Bob. Sourced from his cherished South Shore Golden Mile estate vineyards, planted 25 years ago, these limited-production wines captures the passion, creativity, and hard work that has shaped Tsillan Cellars since its very beginning.

Join us for this exclusive wine club evening featuring exceptional wines, a chef-curated menu, and the rare opportunity to experience our Founder’s Reserve. An unforgettable night awaits.
