Dine in the Vines – Winemaker Dinner

With lights woven through ancient olive trees and fruit-laden vines stretching skyward, you’ll immediately feel the magic of this extraordinary setting as you gather for an unforgettable meal beneath the stars. Join us for our annual Dine in the Vines Winemaker Dinner, where you’ll dine between the rows and take in the sweeping beauty of the vineyard surrounding you. This year we will have a local harpist play as we dine among the vines. Joselyn Sky is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and the current Youth Ambassador for the California Bluegrass Association. A lifelong musician, she plays harp, mandolin, guitar, clawhammer banjo, piano, and ukulele. An award-winning classical harpist, she has performed with Orchestra Novo and the Santa Maria Philharmonic.

Settle in at an elegantly styled table and prepare for a thoughtfully curated culinary experience, guided by a talented chef and our renowned winemaking team. Below is the final menu for the evening.
