Legacy Dinner
Napa Valley

Private Winery Buyout & Legacy Charter Session
Vineyard Executive Attire | July 29th, 2026 | Napa Valley, California

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.

Napa Valley’s Beauty
Exclusively Yours

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 purpose. The winery is ours alone — every space, every glass poured, every moment reserved for you and the leaders who share this table.

From the shaded terrace to the underground lodge, you will move through spaces rich in history and craftsmanship — the perfect backdrop for a conversation about the legacy we are each building, and the collective legacy we are forging together as Black Executive Men.

It is against this backdrop — a place that has shaped the wine world and drawn leaders from across the globe — that we gather to shape something even more enduring: the legacy of Black Executive Men, and your own.

This is about more than a night in Napa. It is about the people you will influence, the lives you will impact, and the mark you will leave on the world stage. Here, surrounded by vineyards that have stood for generations, you will add your chapter to a story that will outlast us all.

 

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

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.

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.

3 Tiers —
