Event Information
About this event
Dive deep into the process of making wine with the owners of Conduit wine, a new natural winery and vineyard, located in the Sierra Foothills / Fair Play wine growing region.
Get ready to learn the basics of winemaking, blending, and tasting. Everyone gets to roll up their sleeves and produce their very own special bottle of wine!
Meet with husband and wife team, Aaron and Amy of Conduit Wine at Gold Dust Vineyard located in Fair Play, El Dorado Co. Enjoy the breathtaking vineyard views and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the distance. We are located in the heart of the Fair Play wine region, only 30 minutes South of Placerville and 30 minutes East of Amador County wine region.
To begin the experience, owner and winemaker, Aaron will give you a tour of the winery & vineyard, giving you an overview of production and the wine making process. Here, he will show you the different techniques he uses to create their special wine blends. Taste samples straight from the barrel while learning more about the basics of production, blending and the aging process.
Aaron and Amy will educate you with a contextual overview of wine growing regions & vineyards in both the “old world” and California, as well as varietal identification and a brief lesson in deductive tasting.
Now it’s your turn to play winemaker, with Aaron and Amy demonstrating how to blend and create a cuvée. You will have the opportunity to blend, bottle, and cork your own custom bottle to take home (a $30 value), as well as design your very own label.
