Road to Rhône Immersion Vineyard Exploration + Tasting
Signature Sonoma Valley
Saturday, May 16 2020
9:30 am – 11:30 am
France’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône varietals such as Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre have long since been coveted by wine enthusiasts and vintners around the world. California winemakers have followed suit, making Rhône’s and Rhône-style blends a staple and cult classic.
With similar growing conditions and versatility, Sonoma Valley’s Rhône-style wines rival that of Europe’s, today. Graceful and complex in character, world-class Rhône’s have been produced in Sonoma Valley for years, and they are here to stay.

Crush With Us!
Harvest & Home Winemaking Workshop
Mid-October 2020
Live like a winemaker for a day! Join us at our growers’ vineyard in Sonoma Valley and see what it’s really like to work and play in Wine Country. We’ll start the morning off early while it’s still cool and prime for picking. You’ll have the opportunity to harvest Merlot by hand and experience the process of home winemaking from start to finish, from crushing the fruit to inoculating with yeast – and we’ll have a contest to see who picks the most! Harvest at this small vineyard takes about two hours and ends with wine and a delicious feast. Tickets include a return to the vineyard in one year to bottle the wine you helped to make, including lunch, and each ticket includes 6 bottles of the finished wine ($240 value).
