Events

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.

BYOB Wine & Dine – Rosés from around the world
Wednesday, July 28th
Spiritland Bistro, Santa Barbara, CA

`Enjoy an evening of outstanding food and wine tasting and sharing, in a highly social and energizing atmosphere. SpiritLand pairs a gourmet organic four-course meal with the wine theme of the month. Each attending couple (or individual) brings a nice bottle of “pink” (no corkage fee) to share with everyone else during the first 45 minutes, complemented by the cheese course from C'est Cheese. Getting a small taste of many wines side-by-side is a unique opportunity as well as a great mingling activity. Then all attendees will be seated at large tables to encourage interaction for the remainder of the meal. Additional bottles may be brought (no corkage) to share with the table. Norm will entertain between courses to give some background on the wine theme and the food pairing.

Celebration of Harvest Festival Weekend
October 9-11
Santa Maria CA and at The Goat Shed

The annual Celebration of Harvest is held in October each year, when we're in the thick of the winegrape harvest and take a needed break to showcase our latest wines! This year's Celebration of Harvest will be held on October 9th from 1 to 4pm, and once again on the beautiful grounds of Rancho Sisquoc Winery in the Santa Maria Valley. Local restaurants, caterers and specialty food purveyors will showcase their talents and the bounty of Santa Barbara County, while live and lively bands will fill the air with music. Add to that the silent auction, filled with specialty wines and large format bottles from members of the Vintners’ Association to benefit local food banks, and we definitely have a reason to Celebrate Harvest. We’re planning some Harvest Celebrations of our own at the Goat Shed, so stay tuned to this webpage! For details and tickets to the Celebration of Harvest Festival, please visit the Vintners’ Association website.
