The price of tickets is credited toward your purchases!

The sixteen wines poured at this event are completely different than those poured at the earlier San Francisco Chronicle Best of Class Grand Tasting. Please scroll down to see the list.

Join us as we taste through a selection of four 90+ Point scoring wines from 2024, via a guided exploration with Darcie Kent, the Kent family, and winemaker Julian Halasz.

Before and after the guided tasting, enjoy an exposition-style, flexible format tasting of twelve additional 90+ Point scoring wines, as well as a deluxe cheese and charcuterie spread so that you can experience how exquisitely well our wines pair with a variety of flavors.

Finally, all ticketholders will be able to purchase these award-winning wines with an exclusive 20% discount, with stacking club and case discounts. Club members can purchase a case of wine for 50% off.

Wine Enthusiast 90+ Point ratings are awarded to the most impressive wines, with 90-93 considered Excellent and 94-97 considered Superb. We are thrilled with our success this year, and can't wait to share it with you.
