2026 Access Wine Country Charity Scramble

August 29 – August 30, 2026

Silverado Resort - 1600 Atlas Peak Rd, Napa, CA 94558

Overview

After an unforgettable inaugural event, we're headed back to Napa Valley for another incredible weekend celebrating three of life's greatest pleasures: championship golf, world-class wine, and unforgettable food.

The Access Wine Country Charity Scramble returns to Silverado Resort for a weekend that goes far beyond the scorecard. Play two legendary courses, spend time alongside Napa Valley's premier wineries, enjoy an intimate dinner at Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc, and help support two local organizations dedicated to preserving the Napa Valley community.

Whether you're here for the golf, the wine, the food or all three you'll experience Napa the way it was meant to be enjoyed.


Golf

Championship Golf in the Heart of Wine Country

Spend the weekend playing both of Silverado Resort's renowned championship layouts, each offering a completely unique experience.

The Limited Vintner's Cup

Kick off the weekend with the Limited Vintner's Cup, an exclusive add-on experience available for an additional fee and limited to just 24 participants. Golfers will join one of several featured Napa Valley winery teams: MacDonald Vineyards, The Mascot, Hourglass Estate, Mending Wall, FARM Napa Valley, Celani Family Vineyards and Frias Family Vineyard; each hosted experience includes exclusive wines, personal interaction with winery representatives, and a featured bottle to take home that reflects the character of each participating winery.

Along the way, teams will compete for the coveted Vintner's Cup, blending friendly competition with the relaxed hospitality that makes Napa Valley so special. Every participant will also take home a curated bottle of wine personally selected by their winery team captain, with featured experiences including exclusive bottlings from wineries such as MacDonald Vineyards and The Mascot, a lasting reminder of an unforgettable day spent alongside the people behind some of Napa Valley's most celebrated wines.

The Limited Vintner's Cup is available as a $500 add-on and is limited to just 24 participants. Guests may request placement on a featured winery team during registration, subject to availability. For those interested in Team MacDonald or Team Mascot, a limited number of dedicated team registrations are also available using the links below.

Team MacDonald

Join MacDonald Vineyards co-founder Alex MacDonald and discover what makes MacDonald one of the most sought-after Cabernet Sauvignons in the world, with a waiting list of more than 13,000 enthusiasts. As part of the experience, each participant will take home a bottle of the current MacDonald vintage, a wine that is virtually impossible to purchase through traditional channels.

Team Mascot

Join The Mascot Trade Ambassador JP Havens for an unforgettable afternoon celebrating one of Napa Valley's most acclaimed wine families.

Your experience begins with a bottle of Ruinart Champagne shared on the first tee before enjoying an afternoon of golf alongside JP while tasting rare Harlan Family bottlings, including selections such as Penultimate, Maiden, or Matriarch, wines typically reserved for mailing list patrons and rarely experienced outside the estate.

As a lasting memento of the day, each participant will receive a bottle of 2021 Penultimate, the second label from Promontory, valued at $425.

Additional featured winery experiences from Hourglass Estate, Mending Wall, FARM Napa Valley, Celani Family Vineyards, and Frias Family Vineyard will be announced as details are finalized.

The Access Wine Country Charity Scramble

On Sunday, the spotlight turns to our signature event, the Access Wine Country Charity Scramble on Silverado Resort's legendary North Course, a past host of an annual PGA TOUR stop. Pair up for a two-person scramble featuring championship golf, incredible on-course hospitality, outstanding food and wine, and friendly competition, all while helping raise funds for The Napa Valley Grapegrowers and Connolly Ranch.

Following the round, join fellow participants for lunch, awards, and a Vintner Wine Reception as we celebrate another unforgettable weekend in Wine Country.
