Alma Rosa Winemaker Dinner

Cost: $125.00 per person Tax and Gratuity is included

Join us for an intimate winemaker dinner featuring one of Santa Barbara County's most celebrated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producers. Alma Rosa Winery has been a cornerstone of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation since its founding in 2005. We'll be joined by winemaker Samra Morris, who was named one of five nominees for 2025 Winemaker of the Year by Wine Enthusiast. Under her tenure, Alma Rosa's wines have earned 95-plus points from critics across top publications more than 80 times.

Enjoy terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay shaped by Pacific Ocean breezes as we return to Chef Claud's kitchen for another one-of-a-kind evening. At $125 per guest, you'll enjoy a welcome reception with sparkling wine and appetizers, followed by five courses paired with some of Alma Rosa's finest expressions.
