Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush. These formal dinners include phenomenal dishes paired with the best wines.

These Presidential Dinners are presented on very special occasions, serving the best food and wine that America can offer. These meals serve a wide diversity of almost exclusively American wines - from the white wines with salads to red wines with meat to sparkling wines with desserts.
