The Riddler
This small winery spares no effort to create the complex bouquet, refreshing acidity and depth of flavor found in the finest of sparkling wines. In a century-old tradition rarely practiced today, the winemakers use barrel fermentation, barrel aging and a full time riddler in the creation of their sparkling wines. After bottling, the wines are hand-stacked and hand-riddled in their historic Diamond Mountain caves which are among the largest caves found in the valley. This location is perfect for a corporate group of up to 100 guests seeking a bubbly and food pairing experience paired perfectly with an educational program that details the lustrous history of the property and the ancient sparkling-making techniques utilized therein.
Spirit of Bacchus
Imagine a candle-lit dinner capped by a stage-set performance or presentation in the enchanting stillness of aging wine caves. This dramatic, vaulted underground chamber is ensconced amidst a vast cave complex strewn with alcoves beset with rare artifacts and sculptures and hewn out of an ancient volcanic knoll in the center of the estate, and is ideal for corporate events of up to 500 guests. Entertain smaller groups of guests in the Harvest Room, with its lofty ceilings, crystal chandeliers, marble fireplace and rare artwork surrounded by views of the vineyards and mountains. The main entrance also makes a dramatic setting for a special evening beneath the stars, where guests may dine at tables set surrounding “Mother Earth,” a striking sculpture by artist Henry Moore. Combined with the cypress tree-lined lawn and courtyard, this area can accommodate upwards of 400 guests. A truly versatile and striking event location, this winery also boasts estate-grown Bordeaux varietals that may be enjoyed while taking advantage of personalized tours of the facility and an extensive art collection.
