Winter WINEland 2017

Come back in January for the 25th Anniversary Winter WINEland, a great opportunity to meet winemakers, taste limited production wines, new releases or library wines in the Dry Creek appellation. A

ll participating wineries will highlight a Vintage, Varietal or Vertical tasting for the weekend. Add breakfast with a winemaker or join winemakers for a casual morning of Q & A along with a breakfast before heading out to Winter WINEland. This is an open forum for guests to meet & chat with winemakers in a casual breakfast setting.

Enjoy your holidays, and I’ll be back soon with more to do in Napa and Sonoma in 2017.
