Futures Barrel Tasting at the Winery

Buy Your Tick­ets for a Futures Bar­rel Tast­ing with Wine­mak­er Steve Beckmen

We are pleased to announce the return of our annu­al Futures pro­gram, where a selec­tion of top wines from the 2022 and 2023 vin­tages, which are still aging in bar­rel, are avail­able to taste and pre-order at dis­counts of up to 40%. We encour­age you to read the The Top 6 Things You Should Know about Our Futures Pro­gram.

Imag­ine buy­ing wines before they have even left the bar­rel, let alone hit the shelves of your favorite store! For two decades, we have been open­ing our cel­lar doors each fall, offer­ing a rare oppor­tu­ni­ty to taste our lim­it­ed pro­duc­tion red wines, as they patient­ly mature in oak bar­rels. We invite you to join us for a bar­rel tast­ing with Wine­mak­er Steve Beck­men on either Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 14^th (online tick­ets closed — walk-ins wel­come) or Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 28^th at 2pm at our win­ery in Los Olivos. Each tast­ing costs $50 and includes a cheese board along with the flight of six wines. 

If you are unable to attend the Sat­ur­day tast­ings, you can also arrange a week­day tast­ing with Steve by appoint­ment between Sep­tem­ber 16 — 20 and 23 — 27; click here to con­tact us to sched­ule a Futures tast­ing by appointment.

You are then offered the oppor­tu­ni­ty to pre-order these six wines dur­ing the Futures pre-sale which is open August through Sep­tem­ber 30^th, 2024. The great­est ben­e­fit to cus­tomers who pre-order wines dur­ing the Futures pro­gram is the abil­i­ty to pur­chase these lim­it­ed pro­duc­tion wines at the low­est price that they will be offered, with dis­counts of up to 40%. Pre-order­ing dur­ing Futures guar­an­tees access to these low pro­duc­tion wines.

Each $50 tast­ing fee is refund­ed with the pur­chase of 12 total bot­tles of Futures wine. We require a three-bot­tle min­i­mum pre-order for each wine, and ground ship­ping is includ­ed on all wines if the total pre-order is 12+ bot­tles. The six wines will be bot­tled and released at dif­fer­ent stages between this fall and spring of next year, so as your pre-ordered wine becomes ready, you will be charged for your allotment.
