Join Us for One of the Most Distinctive Tastings Ever Offered at Coeur de Terre

Saturday, July 25th | 1–4 PM (Pacific)

This isn’t just a tasting — it’s a deep dive into the art and science of winemaking.

In 2025, our Owner and Winemaker, Scott Neal, set out to demonstrate an amazing aspect of wine: How does the origin of oak shape the flavor of wine? His idea? Take wine from a single fermenter, then age it in four French oak barrels — all from the same cooper (Tonnellerie Sirugue), but each made from wood sourced in four different forests across France.

The result is extraordinary:

Six wines. Same grape, same vintage. Completely unique expressions.

At this exclusive side-by-side tasting, you’ll explore how subtle variations in forest terroir influence a wine’s spice, texture, mouthfeel, and aromatics. Scott will guide you through the flavors, the story, and the soils — literally. As part of the experience, you’ll also get a tour of our on-site soil trench, exposing the diverse layers and geology beneath our 100-acre certified organic estate.

In-Person at Coeur de Terre — Saturday, July 25th | 1–4 PM Pacific 

Enjoy this guided tasting in our vineyard setting with access to Scott’s winemaking insight and hospitality.
