September

• The Hexa Tasting - Flat Rock Cellars. Sunday, Sept.17. Noon. Another event in the Rockstar Red Carpet interactive VIP tastings series - monthly elevated experiences that dig deep into a particular theme. The unique Somewhereness of our vineyards is perfectly suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. We knew this when we planted in 2001 and 20 years later, the vines are in their prime. It’s in our nature to push boundaries and in doing so, the Hexa’s were created. Hexa (formerly Ultra) is a micro-cuvee that allows our winemakers to push our vineyards and winemaking skills to the limits. In this first of its kind tasting, we’ll revisit the inaugural 2017 vintage, followed by the 2019s which were bottled exclusively in magnum and finishing with the 2020 vintage - the highest scoring red wine in Flat Rock history. Limited to 20 seats. Tickets required. Call 905-562-8994 for details.
