April 28, 2026 (Napa, CA) — Bouchaine Vineyards, the highly regarded Carneros estate owned by business leaders and philanthropists Gerret and Tatiana Copeland, will serve as an exclusive wine partner for the events commemorating the 50th anniversary of Carnegie Hall’s historic “Concert of the Century” gala on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. In a pairing as elegant as a perfectly tuned violin and as celebratory as a standing ovation, Bouchaine wines will take center stage at the black-tie evening set against the grandeur of New York City’s most iconic concert hall. Guests will enjoy a selection of Bouchaine wines, including the winery’s 2023 Brut Rosé, 2023 Estate Chardonnay, 2024 Alsatian White Blend and 2023 Dijon Clone Estate Pinot Noir. Each pour promises to echo the artistry of the evening—layered, expressive and unforgettable.
First conceived 50 years ago by legendary violinist and six-time Grammy Award winner Isaac Stern—whose passion famously helped save Carnegie Hall from demolition—the original “Concert of the Century” brought together some of the world’s most extraordinary musicians in tribute to the Hall’s opening on May 5, 1891. Now, half a century later, a dazzling new constellation of artists will gather on the Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage to celebrate 135 years of musical legacy.
This milestone performance will feature an extraordinary roster including Emanuel Ax, Joyce DiDonato, Michael Feinstein, Renée Fleming, Evgeny Kissin, Lang Lang, Isabel Leonard, Audra McDonald, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Daniil Trifonov with the NYO-USA All-Stars, the Oratorio Society of New York—each contributing to an evening destined to make history once again.
The evening will crescendo with a black-tie gala dinner at the Waldorf Astoria New York benefiting Carnegie Hall’s arts, education and social impact programs.
For Bouchaine owner and chairman Tatiana Copeland—her mother’s uncle was the legendary Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff—the partnership strikes a deeply personal chord.
“Classical music runs in my veins, and I am absolutely thrilled to have our wines poured at this landmark celebration,” says Copeland. “Carnegie Hall is one of the most iconic cultural institutions in the world, and to be part of such a historic evening is an incredible honor.”
A passionate patron of the arts, Tatiana Copeland’s philanthropic reach extends far beyond this collaboration. She has served on the board of the Kennedy Center, chaired the Delaware Symphony Orchestra, and endowed numerous museums, opera houses, and animal welfare organizations—including the Copeland Center for Animal Welfare in Delaware. Together with her husband, Gerret Copeland, she was awarded their state’s highest honor, the Order of the First State, by the Governor of Delaware.
For one unforgettable night, where music soars and glasses shimmer, Bouchaine Vineyards will help ensure that every note—and every sip—resonates with timeless brilliance.

About Bouchaine Vineyards
Bouchaine was founded by Gerret and Tatiana Copeland, and under their attentive stewardship, it has emerged as one of the Carneros AVA’s most respected producers of sustainably farmed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The estate is comprised of 104 acres, including a dramatic winery, stunning tasting room and a state-of-the-art kitchen. The vineyards at Bouchaine are greatly influenced by the adjacent San Pablo Bay, where cool breezes and the daily influx of fog allow cool climate varieties to shine. The location’s substantial daily temperature shifts also help to enhance the beautiful acidity in the fruit, resulting in wines with vivid energy and texture. Noted as the first “Fish Friendly Farming” certified vineyard in Napa Valley, the winery is also Napa Green land and winery certified. If one sentence can encapsulate the energy of Bouchaine, it is the winery’s trademarked slogan, “Wine Makes You Happy™”.
