Cost: $200 per person. Wine Club Member Discounted Price: $150 per person.
Get your tickets now! Day of the Doon will be hosted on Saturday, September 29th, and we will be celebrating in great style.
The event (in its sixteenth iteration!) will be held for the seventh time at Randall Grahm’s San Juan Bautista Estate Vineyard and Farm, Popelouchum. It will be a magical late afternoon and evening affair. Guests will have a guided tour of the Popelouchum Estate, before sitting down to dinner between the Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc vines.
Randall Grahm said, “Day of the Doon events have always been perhaps a bit theatrical, but the intent of recent years’ celebrations has been to set aside theatricality for its own sake. Sharing Popelouchum with our dear friends, we proclaim our unremitting dedication to the discovery of the terroir of this very special place, and to letting the land speak in its own unique voice.”
We are so excited to continue to host this event at Popelouchum (the Mutsun language word the Ohlone natives historically used to denote the general vicinity of the site, its secondary meaning “paradise”), representative the fulfillment of a grand dream of a vin de terroir. It is hard to express how utterly magical the place is – you will have to see for yourself the amazing energy of this unique site.
*** We will be outside at Popelouchum, so be sure to dress in comfortable walking shoes with good traction and BRING WARM CLOTHING (the layered look is always the way to go), sun hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen as well. ***
