Join us for another fantastic Winter

Wine Tour!

This tour visits 3 of the top wineries in the

Gilroy area. Enjoy a picnic lunch, a VIP winery tour, upgraded tastings,

and very special purchase discounts, plus your own expert tour guide will host the tour.

Our first stop is Clos LaChance Winery, a beautiful Tuscan-style winery with outdoor terraces and hillside views in San Martin, CA (near Morgan Hill). Take the Vineyard to Bottle Tour,

a fun & informative tour of the vineyard and winery, guided

by a trained Sommelier. You’ll enjoy VIP access of their state-of-the-art

production facility, while you taste award-winning wines. Then it's

time for a gourmet picnic - our California Picnic Buffet, served

in the Grand Salon. (indoors)

Second Stop: Kirigin Cellars

Style: Historic winery with acres of vineyards in the beautiful Uvas Valley area

What: Enjoy a tasting and history talk, plus time to relax & enjoy the scenery. Kirigin specializes in estate-grown wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, along with unusual varieties such as Malvasia Bianca - they also make their own chocolate dessert wine and a very special red wine vinegar aged in oak barrels. Kirigin will offer the group special discounts on wine purchases.

Third stop: Solis Vineyard

Style: An established Gilroy winery on the historic former Spanish land grant, "Rancho de Solis", with estate vineyards framed by rolling hills.

What: A full tasting of Solis wines. Solis makes a nice variety of wines including Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a red Meritage-type blend.

Special bonus: a $5 discount coupon toward wine purchases
