Entertaining was a gateway drug into wine for us. We built the tasting room to pour wine, sure, but it was also a chance for us to build our dream entertaining space – somewhere to throw parties, fire up the grills on Sunday nights, set gorgeous tables for al fresco dinners, and curate special events for you, our Annual Share members. The summer event series is a chance to slow down, raise a glass and let us entertain you. From highly lauded chefs outside our region to the best local chefs like you’ve never seen them before, to parties all about Rosè, we’re just getting started….read on for Summer ’22 events.

Have you ever wondered what chefs cook for their people? This meal is built around a favorite food and communal eating style that comes with…Ethiopian cuisine! Traditionally served around a table full of friends and including some eating with your hands, this is a food style with rich unique flavors and a whole host of unique wine pairing options. We can only imagine what Chef’s take on traditional favorites like injera bread, samsoe, and others will be. We’ll provide the bibs, yes, really.

Expect hyper-seasonal ingredients, a farm to table style meal to pair perfectly with our newly released fall wines. Whether they cook over the firepit again, the new parrilla, or their own amazing toys its going to be a memorable harvest feast. We’ll open the night with happy hour snacks and bubbles before a seated dinner al fresco.
