Spring Supper Club with Brad & Jim!
Apr

12:00 PM12:00

Spring Supper Club with Brad & Jim!

Winemakers - Friends ~ Food & Wine Enthusiasts

Some traditions are simply too good not to bring back…

Join Jim Rickards & I for the return of our beloved Spring Supper Club! It’s an afternoon of exceptional food, perfectly paired wines, and the kind of experience that reminds us why we love Alexander Valley in the spring.

Each of us will craft an appetizer, main course, and dessert, perfectly paired with our wines, while sharing stories, insights, and plenty of laughter along the way.

Your Afternoon Begins at the Lake

Imagine arriving to scrumptious appetizers and your first paired wine while taking in sweeping views of the northern Alexander Valley and Jim’s lake - peaceful, scenic, and unmistakably wine country.

Afterward, we’ll enjoy a relaxed stroll through the vineyard, mostly downhill, with a guided master class covering viticultural practices, soil types, and what makes this land so remarkable.

(Comfortable shoes are encouraged… this is wine country, after all.)

Along the way, we’ll pause at Jim’s owl house to learn how these quiet guardians play an important role in maintaining a healthy vineyard ecosystem. A splash of wine will be waiting to keep your glass and your spirits lifted.

An Afternoon to Remember

Our walk concludes at the pavilion where the main course and dessert await.

Jim & I will lead an open conversation on winemaking, answer your questions, and likely share a few stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

And because great afternoons deserve great cellars…

Every guest will enjoy 30% off any wine from either winery… no limits!

(You may want to plan a little trunk space =)
