An Evening with Cristie Kerr at Ember: A Strolling Wine Dinner to Remember

Some evenings are meant to be unforgettable — and this October, We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort invites you to experience one of them. On Friday, October 3, 2025, Ember, the resort’s award-winning fine dining restaurant, will host a special 5-Course Strolling Wine Dinner with none other than LPGA Champion and acclaimed vintner Cristie Kerr of Kerr Cellars.

From 7 to 9 p.m., guests will savor an exclusive menu carefully crafted by Ember’s culinary team, each course perfectly paired with wines from Kerr Cellars. This one-of-a-kind evening blends the passion of golf, the artistry of winemaking, and the culinary excellence that makes Ember a standout dining destination in Arizona.

Meet Cristie Kerr: Champion and Vintner

Cristie Kerr is more than one of the most decorated players in LPGA history — she has seamlessly transformed her competitive spirit into a second career as a winemaker. With Kerr Cellars, she brings the same discipline, precision, and artistry that defined her golf career into every bottle she produces. This dinner offers a rare opportunity to enjoy her wines in person while hearing directly from Cristie about her journey from the fairways to the vineyards.

A Culinary Experience at Ember

Known for its elegant atmosphere, award-winning wine list, and chef-driven menus, Ember is the perfect stage for an evening of culinary and viticultural excellence. Each dish in the five-course tasting menu has been thoughtfully designed to complement Kerr Cellars’ distinctive flavors — creating pairings that elevate both food and wine into something extraordinary.

Unlike a traditional seated dinner, the strolling format allows guests to move through Ember’s stylish spaces, sampling dishes and wines in a more dynamic, social setting. It’s an immersive experience that invites conversation, connection, and discovery.
