We'll list events on this page - perhaps a special line-up of wines at the Tasting Room, a winemaker's dinner or a function for charity.

Pinot Days

June 26-27

San Francisco CA

Pinot Days is a wine event that celebrates Pinot Noir in its many styles, ranging from modern to earthy to elegant. Unlike wine events that appeal to a narrow customer base featuring wines more alike than different, Pinot Days brings together Pinot producers representing every California pinot style, appellation and price point as well as a number of pinots from Oregon, Germany, New Zealand and Burgundy. Pinot Days also celebrates the passionate people who make pinot noir, which is no easy of variety of grape with which to content, but one that has the innate ability to surpass all other grape varieties. Pinot Days will enable you to  explore new producers, find wines you love and can afford, and become a pinot devotee if you are not one already.
