An Evening of Provenu00e7al Immersionn

With

Su00e9bastien Ferrari

Owner & Wine Maker

On the Mediterranean coast, where the hills of Cap Bu00e9nat fall into the sea, Chu00e2teau Malherbe lives between salt air and clay-rich soils. For four generations, the Ferrari family has cultivated these 60 hectares with one philosophy: Respect the land. Express the terroir. Seek excellence without compromise.
Farmed organically since 1940 and certified biodynamic since 2021, the estate produces wines of remarkable purity, shaped by sea breezes, sun drenched slopes, and mineral tension drawn from ancient soils. Malherbe is not simply Provence. It is Provence with depth. With structure. With soul. Tonight, we welcome you to experience the estate through five wines, each poured with intention, alongside a menu that speaks the language of the Mediterranean.

Born into a family of restaurateurs, her journey began at the age of seven when her family relocated to Moscow, Russia, where her father opened a series of restaurants. Immersed in the industry from a young age, hospitality was imprinted early, yet her professional path initially led elsewhere.

After earning a degree in Business Administration, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in marketing.
