Happiest Solstice friends & lovers. What better way to celebrate this new season than announcing our summer large-scale tasting, Vines of the Islea, an evening with the island wines of the Mediterranean.

Travel with us to the beautiful islands of the Mediterranean, where we will explore how volcanic soil and sea-driven natural elements can influence the grape. We will taste offerings from Sicily (IT), Sardinia (IT), Majorca (SP), Corsica (FR), Greece, and a few from the Canary Islands (Atlantic yes, but fabulous, fun, and interesting island wines).

Think light and elegant reds, unique whites, rose, and perhaps a bubble or two. A little something for everyone for this summer evening!

Tickets are $70/person, must be 21+ to attend. Ticket price includes all pours, plus small bites.

Pre-purchase of tickets are required - grab yours today! Link in bio to purchase ๐Ÿ’Œ
