Smart Sipping Sessions:
Do you want to know more about what's in your glass? Join journalist and critic Matt Kettmann (Santa Barbara Independent, Wine Enthusiast, Vines & Vision) to learn firsthand from the winemakers what you are sipping. The Sipping Sessions will take place inside the Presidio's chapel adjacent to El Presidio Orchard. The first session will cover the region's Rosé wines, and the second session will focus on Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay. Winemakers share their thoughts, and will take questions from the audience at the end of the sessions.
