Our Wednesday Tastings are casual walk-around events hosted in our spacious tasting room or in Split. We pour six to eight wines selected according to the week’s theme, focusing on a region, varietal, style or whim. Tastings are from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., no reservations necessary.

At our Saturday Tastings we pour six wines in The Brasserie, according to the week’s theme. Our Chef prepares a selection of entrees to accompany the wine for just $12.50. Make your reservations between 11:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., (858) 450-9557.

We also host many Special Events, including winemaker dinners, rare wine tastings, and warehouse sales. Our dinners and tastings often sell out well in advance, so we encourage our patrons to make reservations early.

Friday, March 26: Rudi Wiest, Germany and Friends

Price TBD

Ask any sommelier and they will tell you: "We love German wines." Alas the masses often forgo this style of wine for the intensity of grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. It's a shame because the Pinot Noirs, Rieslings, Pinot Blancs and Gewürztraminers of Germany shine the moment you open them. Give them some time in the cellar and they sing the glory of the wine gods.

Come and join us for an educational evening with German import wine specialists Rudi Wiest Selections and find out just how good these wines can be!
