5:30pm: Dinner at Valette (Optional Event)
Valette Healdsburg is one of those fine dining experiences you don’t get to enjoy every day, yet it has a very familiar, neighborhood feel to it with excellent food and a highly trained staff. Valette was born from two brothers’ lifelong dream of creating a unique dining experience in our hometown of Healdsburg. Its goal is to provide a canvas for local farmers, winemakers and artisans to showcase their crafts.
Valette Healdsburg will serve a prix fixe menu specifically chosen for Alpha Gamma Boulé and guests.
