Autumn in the Wine Country with lunch at the Culinary Institute at Greystone - Tuesday, October 10
Many of today's famous corporate wineries were once small, family-owned operations. On this tour, we have selected two wineries that remain true to their origins. Guests will experience the intimacy and special attention to detail these wineries still practice. We will stop at Duckhorn Vineyards, followed by Schramsberg Vineyards for tours and tastings where we will learn how the family history and the love of the grape are intertwined. After a leisurely morning of tasting, we will proceed to the Culinary Institute at Greystone for a spectacular gourmet lunch. Look for more information and registration information on the conference brochure, due out mid-April.
