Benefactor Experience

The Benefactor Experience is our most exclusive offering—an invitation extended to just eight couples for an extraordinary journey that blends the elegance of Napa Valley with the magic of Broadway.

Created for patrons who value exceptional hospitality, world-class entertainment, and meaningful philanthropy, this curated experience begins in Napa Valley and culminates on one of Broadway’s most anticipated opening nights in New York City.

Your journey begins with the Benefactors Luncheon at John Anthony Vineyards’ breathtaking Church Vineyard, one of Napa Valley’s most remarkable private estates. Closed to the public and available only by invitation, the beautifully restored 1886 church sits among four acres of estate Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in the rolling hills of Carneros.

Gather with your fellow Benefactor patrons for a seasonal lunch created by acclaimed Culinary Director Logan Foos, formerly of The French Laundry, paired with the exceptional wines of John Anthony Vineyards. More than a meal, it’s an intimate opportunity to connect with fellow supporters while celebrating the power of music, community, and giving.

That evening, enjoy the best seats in the theater for Everything I Know as Mandy Gonzalez brings the music of Lin-Manuel Miranda to life in a benefit concert unlike any other. Before the performance, you’ll be welcomed at the exclusive VIP Reception. Following the final curtain, continue the celebration with exclusive access to the VIP After Party at Napa Music Hall—the Bay Area’s newest premier live music destination, located within Napa’s beautifully restored historic Opera House.

Inspired by Broadway’s legendary opening-night celebrations, this private event is reserved exclusively for Benefactor guests and select VIP patrons. Enjoy reserved seating, exceptional Napa Valley wines and cuisine, and an elegant atmosphere as the evening builds to a surprise performance.

You’ll also enjoy a meet-and-greet with Mandy Gonzalez—one of Broadway’s most celebrated performers, the original Nina Rosario in In the Heights, acclaimed for her portrayal of Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton, and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s lifelong friend and muse. Share conversation, capture photos, and create lasting memories with one of Broadway’s brightest stars. As a memento of this special event, you’ll receive a premium commemorative gift from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Mandy Gonzalez, created exclusively for VIP guests and Benefactors.

The journey continues in New York City in April 2027.

As a Benefactor patron, you’ll attend the Opening Night performance of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s newest Broadway production, Warriors, in April 2027, one of the year’s most anticipated premieres. Then celebrate as an insider at the exclusive Opening Night Party, alongside the cast, creative team, producers, and distinguished guests.

Reserved for only eight couples, the Benefactor Experience connects the very best of Napa Valley and Broadway, creating unforgettable memories while supporting the Miranda Family Fund and the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation.
