BLIND TASTING EXPLORATION
Saturday, July 8 at 1:30 pm

Have you ever wondered why we blind-taste wine or have you wanted to try a blind wine tasting?

Join us for this intimate sensory exploration and enjoy a blind flight of white and red wines. We can’t give you too much information or it will take the mystery out of the blind tasting!

Guests will learn the benefits of tasting blind, indulging their senses as they take time to appreciate the many qualities and unique identities of each wine.

You will enjoy the grand reveal of each wine at the end of the tasting!

$55 / Reduced for Club members

MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES
Saturday, October 21 at 1:30 pm

Each harvest, the vineyard tells a new story that is captured in the wines of the vintage.

In warm vintages, wines tend to have fuller-body, concentrated flavors and in some cases, higher alcohol levels. In cool vintages, wines tend to have higher acidity levels, silkier body and elegant fruit flavors.

Join us to taste the contrast of a warm vintage compared to a cool vintage. We will share Chardonnay and Pinot noir from two very different years to showcase the impact of Mother Nature.

$55 / Reduced for Club members
