Join us inside our production facility for an afternoon of wine and barrel education. At our Winemakers Experience event on January 20th, you will be joining our winemakers for an unforgettable winter day at our production facility. Here, we’ll celebrate not only a few von Stiehl wines, but the many flavors that can come about from four unique barrels as well.
We’ll begin with a seated tasting of Zinfandel wines, each aged in four different brands of barrels. This seated tasting becomes less of a wine education and more of a barrel immersion.
Next, meet barrel-cooper, Joe, to learn about barrels, all while watching one being built before your eyes.
You’ll then be guided through a blending education, where you will follow a wine’s progression from barrel aging to bottling. And just to keep the barrel of fun rolling, the winning blend from the blending class will then be aged in Cooper Joe’s custom barrel, made just for the event.
Finally, enjoy a buffet dinner catered by Steel Belly BBQ and balanced by various von Stiehl wines.
The grand finalé will be a barrel auction where all proceeds will be given to the Algoma School’s Wolf Den. Admission includes too many take-home gifts to write into this description!
