Your journey begins when your BlueTEC Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van (ultra-low emission clean diesel vehicle) picks you up in style. Your personal tour guide will be the owner of 101 Wine Tours, Laura Jeffrey, who has been Certified Level II by the Court of Masters Guild of Sommeliers and earned distinction by the prestigious Wine & Spirits Education Trust. In only her fourth year of operations, she has consistently been rated #1 on Trip Advisor, earning three Certificates of Excellence in 2016, 2017 & 2018. Laura was also named the 2018 SLO Cal Tourism Service Champion. Start your day with a tasting in the Village of Arroyo Grande at the new Qupé & Verdad Wine Cellars tasting room. Meet winemaker duo Bob & Louisa Lindquist and be introduced to cool-climate Rhône and Spanish varieties. Qupé & Verdad Wine Cellars are devoted to handcrafting wines that express true varietal character as well as the vineyard’s terroir. The grapes are sourced from organic and biodynamic vineyards and are minimally processed in the cellar. The philosophy behind the winemaking is to grow the best fruit possible, pick at optimum balance and let the wines reflect what the vineyards have created. Next, take a trip to the coast to charming seaside Avila Beach for your second stop, Sinor-LaVallee Wines. Belly up to the bar and meet winemaker Mike Sinor as he takes you through several barrel samples, all sourced from his Bassi Ranch Vineyard just 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean in Avila Valley. Mike Sinor has always been a grinder, a way of life he learned at a young age while working in his father’s auto wrecking yard. He brought that mentality to his first wine harvest in 1993 and never looked back. Through grit and determination, and without formal training, he ultimately became one of the Central Coast’s most decorated winemakers. Mike married Cheri LaVallee in 1996 in Burgundy, and soon after they started their own label. In 2013, Mike and Cheri put everything on the line to acquire their ocean-view Bassi Ranch Vineyard near Avila Beach. It was the destination they’d always been seeking—a singular vineyard that they could steward with holistic and meticulous viticulture. Your trip from here will take you deep into the heart of SLO Wine Country…beautiful Edna Valley. You’ll arrive at Center of Effort, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch and scenic views of their historic estate vineyard. Owned by Bill and Cheryl Swanson, Center of Effort is known for its estate grown & produced Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Rosé of Pinot Noir all artfully crafted by winemaker Nathan Carlson. After lunch, Nathan will personally guide you through barrel samples and concrete egg fermented Chardonnay along with sharing Center of Effort’s SIP Certified, sustainable farming and winemaking practices. The visit will conclude with a tour of the new Center of Effort hospitality center, opening in early 2019. The new hospitality center will include private tasting spaces, conference rooms, demonstration kitchen and a 20-person boardroom that can be converted into a private dining area. Designed to highlight the beautiful Santa Lucia Mountain and rolling vineyard views both indoors and out, the property will also feature intimate courtyards and sitting areas for guests to relax & enjoy Center of Effort wines while surrounded by acres of new beautifully landscaped grounds. Continuing to explore the Edna Valley, you’ll be whisked away to tour some of the region’s oldest Chardonnay vines at Wolff Vineyards. These dry-farmed vines have been producing wine for more than 40 years. You will also be introduced to the certified winery’s steelhead trout habitat restoration program at West Corral de Piedra Creek as well as a subsurface precision drip irrigation research project. Wolff Vineyards is located on 125 acres of ecologically friendly, certified sustainable property located just 4.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean, providing the vineyard with a cool, coastal marine influence. The vineyard was planted in 1976 with 55 acres of Chardonnay grapes by one of the Edna Valley’s winegrowing pioneers, Andy MacGregor.

Finally, end your day with a relaxing dinner at the new La Bodega restaurant in downtown Pismo Beach. La Bodega in Pismo Beach is a globally inspired, locally sourced restaurant serving hand crafted tapas that you’ll savor long after they’re gone. Enjoy a multitude of savory small plates, without committing to a full course, knowing that you are eating some of the freshest ingredients available. Owner Teresa Cordeiro says, “I grew up in a family who valued the time we sat around the table and enjoyed the well-prepared food my mother would make using some of the finest ingredients, the produce in our backyard. Meals were a shared experience, not just a time to eat. Through my travels, I gained a real appreciation of food and its involvement with culture and community. Through these experiences, I was inspired to share my passion of tapas made with locally sourced food with you.” Enjoy this handcrafted journey prepared for you by Laura Jeffery of 101 Wine Tours. Lot Restrictions: Date must be agreed upon by all parties and tours not available from June-October. Must be redeemed by November 2019. Tip for driver not included.

EL LUGAR = THE PLACE Small lot, vineyard designate Pinot Noir, defined by their place of origin. Coby Parker-Garcia and his wife, Katie Noonan, have a combined 25+ years of experience in the wine industry here on the beautiful Central Coast of California. Coby has been making wines for 12 years and fell in love with Pinot Noir long ago and dreamed of creating high quality Pinot Noir from well-known vineyards and AVAs. In 2013 they took a leap of faith and made that dream come true by producing their first vintage of two vineyard designate Pinot Noirs. Currently they source fruit from 4 vineyards, including one to make a white Pinot Noir. The vines at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard were planted in April of 2013. With a new planting in 2016, they now grow a total 88 acres, consisting of 5 clones of Pinot Noir, 2 clones of Chardonnay and a single clone of Pinot Gris. The Edna Valley appellation has a global reputation for producing premium wine grapes; their goal is to produce top notch Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that are made into award-winning wines. Molly Bohlman of Niner Wine Estates in Jespersen Vineyard A grapevine salesman, vineyard manager and enologist whose passion for Pinot Noir led her to winemaking, Molly makes our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Jespersen Ranch. After an introduction to the world of wine during a study-abroad in the South of France, Molly had the bug. Continued…

She began her education at the University of Minnesota and finished it at Cal Poly with a BS in Fruit Science and a minor in Wine & Viticulture. In the 20 years since, she has methodically worked across several functions within the industry seeking to understand sales, vineyard science and winemaking-by-doing. Niner Wine Estates only makes wine from grapes they grow themselves. From vineyard to glass their entire team is working together with a singular goal in mind: to provide you with wines that combine within them a true expression of their vineyards and the creativity of their people. They are constantly working to preserve their land and act as responsible, proactive, and influential members of the community. As a family owned company, they approach the vineyards, the wine and their people with a long-term view and consistently challenge their own processes in order to reduce resource use. Joshua Klapper of Timbre Winery in Chêne Vineyard Josh’s love of wine led him first into a career as a sommelier, culminating in a Wine Spectator Grand Award for the wine list at Sona Restaurant in Los Angeles in 2004. After working closely with some of the Central Coast’s trailblazing winemakers, including Jim Clendenen and Bob Lindquist, Josh founded La Fenêtre Wines in Santa Barbara County, which in 2016 became TIMBRE Winery. Crafting modern wines in a variety of styles, Josh is constantly honing his winemaking technique to produce wines that better express terroir year after year, with less intervention in the winery. Wines from Chêne Vineyard possess elegance and finesse, with a complexity that expresses exceptional fruit quality. Because the family home is in the vineyard, they are deeply connected to their land and are determined to farm sustainably. Chêne Vineyard is one of the smallest vineyards in Edna Valley with just 6.2 acres under cultivation. Fintan du Fresne of Chamisal Vineyards, dinner pairing with Lido at Dolphin Bay Originally from the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island, Fin graduated from Victoria University of Wellington at the age of twenty with a degree in geology. Upon completion of his viticulture and enology degree, Fin worked as a viticulturist at Martinborough Vineyards, one of New Zealand’s pioneering Pinot Noir producers. In 2003, Fin was invited to work harvest at Adelaida Cellars in Paso Robles, where he met his future wife, Erin. In 2006, Fin joined Chamisal Vineyards, a premier Pinot Noir and Chardonnay winery in the Edna Valley of San Luis Obispo County, as winemaker. Chamisal made history in 1973 as the first winery in Edna Valley to plant grapevines.

Lunch for up to 6 guests at Barton’s Kitchen Window

$100 Gift Certificate toward booking tour with Uncorked Wine Tours

A selection of distilled spirits to take home with you today!

Whether it’s a bit of brandy or a jug of gin, this lot will lift your “spirits”! You and up to 5 of your favorite friends will enjoy this exclusive, behind the scenes look at three distilleries, and meet the makers of the craft spirit movement in SLO County. Your trip begins in the heart of Edna Valley with bass player and aerospace/mad scientist Steve Autry at Autry Cellars. Taste through his handcrafted brandies and grappa as Steve educates you on the engineering and functionality of his personally crafted distillery. Steve combined his artistic talent with his scientific knowledge and became a full-time artisan winemaker and distiller in 2001. Over the years his approach has confirmed what he long suspected – that the secret to great wines and spirits is rooted as much in science as it is in the traditional art of winemaking, both of which Steve approaches with tremendous dedication and passion. Next, your group will head north to KROBAR Craft Distillery and meet the guys: Stephen KROener and Joe BARton. With 40 combined years in the alcohol business, these friends had the fantastic idea to unite their skills and produce something they love: hooch. With the right skills to distill and the perfect setting in which to do it, they decided to give it a go. Stephen and Joe wanted to create traditional and not-so-traditional spirits for all to enjoy, including themselves. By employing old school and new school methods, the guys are making craft spirits that are great on the rocks, neat, or can be added to your favorite mixer. After your taste and tour, enjoy lunch for your group at Barton’s Kitchen Window featuring chef Jeff Thomas. Now at Grey Wolf and Barton Family Wines, Jeff brings his own touch to the local food scene. The Kitchen features freshness and seasonality while also showing a little New Orleans heritage. All ingredients are treated with the utmost respect and prepared accordingly. From our vegetables to our meats, we use local, California ingredients that allow us to have a close connection to our menus. Your trip ends at Wine Shine where you’ll taste passionately crafted artisan spirits in the heart of California’s central coast. At Wine Shine, we are committed to blending age-old distillation techniques and innovative, nuanced infusions that will entice your palate. Our crew collectively has over a century of experience in mixology, culinary arts, and wine making that shines through in every bottle. You’ll enjoy brandy, whiskey, and a variety of small batch spirits that will surely leave your taste buds craving for more. Blaze your craft spirit trail with our friends from Uncorked Wine Tours. Uncorked Wine Tours is the perfect solution for a great wine tasting experience in Paso Robles Wine Country or San Luis Obispo Coast Wine region. Enjoy the company of a knowledgeable local wine tour guide at the wheel, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride and the wines. Katie Hayward and her team of guides offer the best wine tours with custom itineraries and personalized service. Lot Restrictions: Must be redeemed by November 2019.

One 20L keg (26 bottles) of 2017 Tangent Paragon Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

You have to admit, who hasn’t dreamed of having wine on tap at their house! The Niven Family, Baileyana and Tangent were early adopters of the wine on tap movement and have been supplying vineyard designated wines to leading restaurants for their wine on tap programs for over 7 years. Jack Niven pioneered the Edna Valley with the planting of his historic Paragon Vineyard in 1973.

This lot features a beautiful Lindr Tap dispensing unit. Its stainless steel design is striking and can support both a red and white wine on tap! No need to chill your kegs as the Lindr unit has an inline chilling unit which will chill wine on-demand just before dispensing. This allows you to store your kegs at room temperature and eliminates the need for bulky and costly refrigerators. In return, you get a ton of flexibly in being able to move the unit around. Nitrogen gas preserves the wine as it pushes it from the keg, eliminating oxidation and preventing spoilage. Nitrogen is an odorless, colorless and flavorless inert gas used to preserve wine in wineries worldwide. This keeps the wine fresh from the first glass to the 135th. A tapped keg will stay fresh for 6 months. No corks to pull, no bottles to store in your cellar or refrigerator, just step up and serve yourself some Baileyana Firepeak Pinot Noir or Tangent Sauvignon Blanc. This lot includes one keg of each with each keg holding approximately 26 bottles of wine. That’s over four cases! Enjoy a rare opportunity to be one of the few and proud to have wine on tap in the confines of your own home.

Wine Details: Tangent Sauvignon Blanc “Paragon Vineyard” Edna Valley Originally planted in 1973, these are most likely the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines south of the North Coast. With the Pacific Ocean lying only five miles to the west, its influence creates one of the longest growing seasons in the state. As in the cool climates of both France and New Zealand, the grapes leisurely ripen, creating bright, racy fruit of structured minerality and good acid backbone. Baileyana Pinot Noir “Firepeak” Edna Valley Sourced from a compilation of select Firepeak blocks from our Estate Vineyard, aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, cinnamon and tobacco burst from the glass of this beautifully balanced Pinot Noir. Dark fruit, blueberry, root beer and cola flavors, are complemented by good acidity and structure. The soft, supple tannins create a beautiful finish. Lot Restrictions: the unit and kegs are available to be picked up from the Baileyana, Tangent & True Myth Tasting Room located in the Edna Valley just 5 miles south of San Luis Obispo. Please note that due to shipping regulations and logistics that we will not be able to ship the kegs. Nitrogen gas is not included but can easily be purchased.

With its first crush Claiborne & Churchill announced its special focus, producing 565 cases of Dry Riesling and Dry Gewürztraminer, inspired by the fruity but dry dinner wines of the French province of Alsace. Today Claiborne & Churchill produces about 8,000 cases of wine each year, sourcing grapes from vineyards in the cool maritime valleys of California’s Central Coast and its own small estate vineyards. .In 1995 Clay and Fredericka completed construction on their new and permanent winery building. This structure, a noteworthy example of environmental architecture, is a “straw bale building,” the first of its kind in California. With sixteen-inch thick walls made of bales of rice straw, the winery is so well insulated that it maintains a constant cellar temperature, without the need for mechanical cooling or heating.

25. SUSHI SUNSET IN SHELL BEACH WITH PELOTON CELLARS DONATED BY EDWARD AND BLUMA FELIX, PELOTON CELLARS AND KANPAI SUSHI •

Two night stay for one couple in seaside Shell Beach home

Private Sushi & Wine Tasting with Peloton Cellars & Kanpai Sushi

Two Bottles of Peloton Cellars Wine to take home with you today!

Peloton Cellars has teamed up with one of SLO Wine Country’s long-time supporters for a seaside, sunset-filled weekend getaway for two in Shell Beach. Dr. Edward and Bluma Felix have transformed their beach bungalow into a show-stopping, indoor-outdoor space tailor-made for entertaining. Tucked away in their newly designed home by the beach, follow the artfully landscaped pathway to their secluded guest house, which includes not only a guest suite, but a kitchen area large enough for dining, or even impromptu games of ping pong. A glass wall slides open to connect the guest house with one of many small patios and conversation areas scattered throughout the yard, with benches surrounding a contemporary fire glass fire pit. In another spot, two hammocks strung between poles anchor a secluded meditation garden. And then there is the couple’s favorite area: a deck atop the guest house roof that offers one of the property’s best ocean views. A boardwalk leading to it is lined with dune grasses. When the fire pit is lit, it has the ambience of a beach bonfire. There’s also a bocce ball and volleyball court. During your two-night stay, you will be greeted with snacks upon arrival, and coffee and light breakfast served each morning. The private beach house is fully equipped; just bring your clothes and toothbrush! During your stay, you’ll be treated to “Sunset Sushi”, a night of wines and sushi provided by Kanpai Sushi, featuring wines from Peloton Cellars. Peloton Cellars is the creation of four longtime friends and it is our mission to create quality wines that are a pleasure to drink any night of the week and enjoy with any meal. All of our wines are from the California’s Central Coast wine region. Our winemaker, Bill Kesselring, believes that a good wine is made from the ground up. Each varietal is meticulously crafted from bud break to the barrel. The name Peloton; pronounced “pell-O-tawn” is a French word meaning “group”, but more specifically refers to the dynamic, main pack of riders in a cycling race. We feel that our wines embody the color and spirit of cycling. Whether it’s a long road ride to the coast or a fun, beach cruiser stroll through town, our love for good wine rivals our passion for riding bikes. Peloton Cellars is our way of paying homage to two of our favorite pastimes. Visit us on the boardwalk in Avila Beach. Here at Kanpai, we are about more than just incredible food or good service. We are about an experience. From our Japanese inspired interior, selection of fine wines and sakes, and wide variety of food and appetizers, we guarantee you’ll find something you like. Sit at the wooden sushi bar and strike up a conversation with someone new. Celebrate that graduation in our banquet room. Or just grab a friend and enjoy some Pismo Rolls as the sun sets in one of our booths. Kanpai literally translated means “empty glass”, or “cheers” as you’d call it here in the States. At Kanpai, we encourage you to live life to the fullest. Explore the beautiful coast. Watch that incredible sunset. Visit that winery. Reconnect with an old friend, and drink of life to its deepest point. We hope to share with you in that experience. But until that time, we wish you the best. Kanpai! Lot Restrictions: Dates must be agreed upon by all parties. Package available from January 2019 through May 15, 2019

Wines made by Mike have scored 96 points in the WineSpectator™, 95 points in Connoiseur’s Guide™, 92 points in Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate™ and 95 points in Wine Enthusiast™. In 2012 Mike was voted as Winemaker of the Year for San Luis Obispo County. The word that best describes Mike is “Fanatical.” He is a self-made winemaker with no formal winemaking education who worked his way up from “cellar rat” through grit, determination and sheer love of wine. Raised in Visalia, CA, Mike attended California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo with the objective of becoming a high school shop teacher. He financed his college education by working at several local wineries -- an experience that ignited his passion for the craft of making wine. Mike met his future wife, Cheri LaVallee, in a chemistry class at CalPoly (now that’s Chemistry 101). Mike has traveled to France on numerous occasions, delving into the winemaking experiences of Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Rhone Valley. He also took a winemaking sabbatical to Australia’s Margaret River in 2001. These travels are integral to his winemaking fabric and outlook. End your fantastic journey through the winemaking process with a two-night stay in the Bassi Ranch Vineyard. Glamp out in style in your very own Tinker Tin Trailer and enjoy and epic sunset in the vineyard while sipping on Sinor-LaVallee Wines.
