Celebrating 50 Years of Caymus Vineyards

By Ocean Prime
Rows of Caymus Vineyards bottles with a special "50" label in red, celebrating their Anniversary in 2022. The label features a historical image of winemakers and text detailing the wine as a 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.

We are thrilled to partner with Caymus Vineyards to celebrate their remarkable 50-year anniversary. In honor of this milestone, we are featuring exclusive glass pours of Caymus 50th Anniversary Napa Cabernet Sauvignon and Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon, available at locations coast-to-coast during September.

Guests can also join us for an unforgettable evening at select Ocean Prime locations, where we’ll host a five-course pairing menu crafted by our executive chef team. Experience exclusive pours of Caymus Vineyards’ 40th and 50th Anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon and more at our Boston, Las Vegas, and Beverly Hills locations.

Each of our Executive Chefs has drawn inspiration to curate this exceptional menu that takes our guests on a culinary journey through the flavors of Napa Valley.  Our menu is not just a collection of dishes but a testament to the synergy of our executive chef team. At Ocean Prime, we believe in the power of collaboration, where each chef brings their unique vision to the table, contributing to something greater than the sum of its parts.

Our first course, crafted by Executive Chef Jonathan Milan from Ocean Prime Beverly Hills, is a King Salmon Crudo dish inspired by the vibrant flavors of the West Coast and Napa Valley which pairs well with Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc. Ocean Prime Las Vegas’ Executive Chef Eugenio Reyes’ second course pairs succulent Lamb Chops with Cabernet Sauvignon, enhanced by a flavorful medley of herbs. Executive Chef Steve Ackner from Ocean Prime Boston created a pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass dish, rich enough to cut through the acidity of the Mer Soleil Chardonnay. Every course tells a story of passion, teamwork, and a shared commitment to excellence, ensuring each guest experiences the love and dedication in every bite.

To enjoy our Executive Chef’s culinary creations, join us for an exclusive evening hosted by Ocean Prime and Caymus Vineyards.
