Dear Club Members,

We’ve been asked by many of you about the Spring BBQ we host every year. 2020 kept us hunkered down last May. Even though we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, we have decided to wait one more year. In place of the BBQ, we are having an exciting new event to host our club members. We invite you to join us for Sip & Savor – An Epicurean Event at the winery.

The event will take place on Saturday, May 8th, Sunday, May 9th (Mother’s Day), Saturday, May 15th, and Sunday, May 16th.

In order to provide distance from other groups, we are selling tables rather than tickets. When making a reservation, please select from these options: Table for 2 ($50), Table for 4 ($100), or Table for 6 ($150). Reservations are required to attend. Please use the button below to reserve your table!

RESERVE YOUR SPOT: Check out your latest email from Jeff Runquist Wines to retrieve the invitation link.

You and your guests will be some of the first to taste our new offerings for 2021 which includes our first ever Chardonnay from one of California’s most prestigious appellations Carneros, Napa. We are excited to share the return of our Estate Verdelho, a Portuguese white grape that has aromatics and flavors that are the perfect accompaniment for a gorgeous Spring day. Speaking of “Port”uguese, we decided to wait till this event to release “Sisney,” a dessert wine using the classic Portuguese varieties that are estate grown.

The tasting will also include “R” Rosé of Sangiovese as well as one of our classics, “R” Barbera from Cooper Vineyards. A relative newcomer to the line-up of Zinfandels is our Peroni Ranch Zin from “R” Estate. Named after the Peroni family who first planted the vines back in 1890, we relish the opportunity to share this wine with you.
