WINE SUBMISSION

IMMERSION: VINEYARD EXPLORATION + TASTING

Immersion is an exploration of Sonoma Valley’s most iconic vineyards. The experience will include a vineyard walk, followed by a seated tasting and sommelier moderated discussion with a panel of winemakers and winegrowers who specialize in each site and/or topic.

SINGLE VINEYARD BENNETT VALLEY EXPLORATION

The complex interplay of topography, varying microclimates and a marine layer, and idyllic volcanic soils of Bennett Valley provide ideal conditions for growing premium winegrapes such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Syrah. A unique occurrence is that varietals like these, and more, thrive within such close proximity of one another, a true testament to the remarkable terroir of the Bennett Valley appellation.
