Want a sneak peek taste of the 2025 vintage? How about a personal session with our winemaker? Just how does he make the magic happen? Join us for A Barrel Tasting With The Winemaker.

On selected Saturdays in March, we will meet in our barrel room for a behind the scenes Barrel Tasting with our winemaker, Julien Durantie. He will open up his barrels and provide a sample taste of the 2025 harvest. An in depth discussion of the differences that vineyard terroir and the sensory impacts that barrel qualities make on the wine follows. It’s a personal and intimate glimpse into wine and the winemaking process that you surely don’t want to miss!

This hour-long session will be at 1:00 pm. Limited to 10 guests, spots can be reserved for $75 per person. Wine Club discounts apply. Members, please email Beth directly to receive your discount. (Sorry no pets allowed in the barrel room.)
