Winery Dinner: Du Coeur Wines from the Willamette Valley

Du Coeur Wines at Albi

This winery dinner brings Wesam Kawa to Albi for an evening centered on Du Coeur Wines from the Willamette Valley. Kawa is identified with Du Coeur Wines as an Advanced Sommelier and Winemaker, and the program focuses on wines from the Pacific Northwest rather than a broader restaurant tasting format.

The event is described as limited and intimate, with Kawa joining from the winery to explore the wines in a restaurant setting. His role is not only to present the bottles: the program includes stories about his transition from sommelier to producer of handcrafted Willamette Valley wines, along with his broader wine journey.

Food, format, and setting

The dinner pairs Du Coeur Wines with Albi’s signature Palestinian Sofra experience. The meal is served family-style at a communal table, which makes the dining format shared rather than individually plated throughout. The setting named for the dinner is Albi’s outdoor enclosed garden.

That combination gives the event two clearly defined subjects: Willamette Valley wines from Du Coeur and Albi’s Palestinian Sofra.
