Upcoming Events
Sunset at the Pond
Saturday, September 26th
As the sun dips behind the hills of Happy Canyon, the estate takes on a golden quiet that's hard to describe and easy to fall in love with. We’re open our pond-side setting for an extended evening seating — a chance to slow down, pour a glass of estate wine, and watch the Santa Ynez Valley do what it does best at the end of a long day.
Arrive anytime between 5:30 and 6:30 PM and linger at your own pace beneath the ancient oak trees — just great wine and one of the most beautiful sunsets in the valley.
A $10 per person reservation fee applies. Industry colleagues and wine club members will receive discounts on bottle purchases and enjoy 50% off wines by the glass.
