Rich, peppery reds, citrusy whites, & stony rosés; the Rhône valley has made & inspired versatile, fall-friendly wines across the globe!

Join us for an early Fall Rhônefair! Enjoy decadent & bold Syrah, rich, complex blends, fragrant whites, & minerally rosés; the Rhône Valley of Southern France has made & inspired many wine styles we treasure. From the charming, peppery table wines of Côtes du Rhône, the brooding Syrahs of the North & snappy, stony rosé of the south to the famous "Rhône Ranger" producers of the American West Coast, & the commanding Shiraz of Barossa, this region has global influence.

Wine has been made in the Rhône Valley for almost 2,000 years! Founded by the Romans & catapulted into fame in the Middle Ages, the blends and & Syrahs of Rhône have inspired winemakers as far away as California & Australia to establish their own Rhône zones!

As always, we're breaking this thing into 2 sessions (12-2 pm and 3-5 pm) to keep it casual & relaxed, so please get your tickets now to secure your preferred time slot. You'll be rewarded not only with a crew of prestigious pros doing the pouring, but you'll enjoy seriously nice pricing on all of the bottles - exclusive to you & just for the day, so c'mon & Rhône the table with us!

FAQs

Can I reserve seating for my group?

We will have six stations seating ten guests each, and all seats will be first come, first serve. If you have a group you would like to sit with, we recommend joining us a touch early to get the best seating, or giving us a call ahead of time to set the spaces aside.

Can a friend join me if they don't have a ticket?

Due to limited space, we must limit admittance to only guests who have purchased tickets.

Can I bring food?

Absolutely! We have a B-Y-O-Food policy for our tastings!

Will you run out of bottles to sell?

We work with boutique & family wineries that make special wines in limited quantities, so wines are subject to selling out. Most selections will be available for special order to be picked up a few days after the event if sold out. Special pricing will still apply!

Yes. All attendees must be 21 years of age or older and must present valid ID upon checking in.

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

Yes! If you wish to switch from one session to another, you can do so by logging into your Eventbrite account and following these instructions for ticket transfers.
