Legacy Dinner

Private Winery Buyout & Legacy Charter Session
Vineyard Executive Attire | July 29th, 2026 | $1000

Legacy waits for no one — but we’ll hold your seat.

 
 

An Evening That Will Outlive Us All

In July 2026, the most accomplished corporate Black men from across the globe will gather in one of the world’s most beautiful wine regions — Napa Valley, California.

The occasion: the BEM 2026 Legacy Dinner — a night designed not merely for fine dining, but for forging the future.

This is not just another dinner. This is a private winery buyout, closed to the public, reserved entirely for members of Black Executive Men. An immersive, five-hour experience where the air is thick with vision, the conversations shape strategy, and the men in the room are consciously defining the legacies they will leave.

Because legacy isn’t built by accident — it is crafted. And here, you will commit yours to the permanent record alongside other leaders whose influence will echo for generations.

A founder’s toast — Welcoming you to Napa with a glass raised to excellence, legacy, and the Black Executive Men who will shape the future together.

The Architecture
of Legacy

Your evening begins in the golden-hour light of Napa Valley, where rolling vineyards and crisp late-summer air set the tone for a night of profound purpose. The winery is ours alone — every pathway, every glass poured, every moment designed exclusively for you and the leaders who share this table.

From the shaded terrace to the underground lodge, you will move through zones intentionally crafted to clear the mind, open the spirit, and elevate the conversation. Each space carries its own energy — a terrace for reflection, a cellar for discovery, a lodge for vision — drawing out clarity, direction, and conviction.

Throughout the evening, you will be guided through a curated process of legacy design. With expert facilitation, you will think, ideate, write, and plan. You will engage in dialogue with fellow legacy-minded leaders, form partnerships, and begin the early execution of a vision that spans beyond your career.

In good company — where moments of joy become the memories that last.

The focus is total impact: the influence you hold today, the power you will wield post-career, and the mark that will remain post-life — on your family, on the Black community, and on humanity. Words spoken here are designed to carry forward, shaping the course of lives and industries.

It is against this backdrop — a vineyard estate steeped in history and craftsmanship — that we gather to forge something enduring: the legacy of Black Executive Men, and your own.

Guiding this experience is your host, Jewel Love — founder of Black Executive Men. With a vision for aligning the most powerful Black men in corporate leadership, Jewel curates this evening with the same precision and care that defines the organization itself. His role is to ensure the night is not only memorable, but transformative — a moment where intention becomes inscription, and inscription begins the work of legacy.

Here, among vineyards that have stood for generations, you will inscribe your chapter with clarity and intention — a chapter that will outlast us all.

 

Vineyard elegance — where the beauty of the land meets the brilliance of corporate leadership.

The Flow of the Night

The Evening’s Design
Every moment of the Legacy Dinner has been intentionally crafted — not simply for enjoyment in the moment, but to produce immediate breakthroughs in connection, insight, and collaboration. The sequence of spaces, conversations, and experiences is designed to spark meaningful introductions, deepen bonds with peers at your level, and crystallize ideas that will influence your career, leadership, and legacy for years to come.

6:30 PM – Group Portraits & Grand Toast
The entire group gathers for the official 2026 Legacy Dinner portrait before Jewel Love opens the night with a powerful welcome — setting the tone for connection, candor, and shared purpose.

The toast — where excellence is honored and legacy is pledged.

9:00 – 10:00 PM – Post-Dinner Cigar Ceremony
The formalities give way to open-air camaraderie under vineyard lights. Over premium cigars the evening’s connections deepen into trust — the kind that turns into deals, partnerships, and enduring friendships long after the smoke clears.

The Afterglow
As the night closes, you leave not simply with memories, but with momentum. You will walk away with strengthened relationships, strategic insights, and a presence cemented in the historical record of Black Executive Men. The conversations begun here will surface in boardrooms, private calls, and global stages for years to come — the dinner becomes a living part of your legacy, and you a permanent part of ours.

 

Savoring every detail — because fine dining is more than a meal, it’s an experience.
