bASH 2026 Gallery

bASH 2026 was an unforgettable celebration of creativity, collaboration, and world-class wine—and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible people behind it. To our winery partners, thank you for your passion, generosity, and dedication to showcasing the best of St. Helena. To the talented CIA Greystone students, your imagination and skill brought each pairing to life in ways that inspired us all. And to our attendees—our guest judges—thank you for showing up ready to sip, savor, and support these remarkable teams.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors—the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, Le Creuset, Staub, Sunshine Foods, and the Appellation St. Helena bASH organizing team—for helping bring this experience to life.
