Don't miss our next winemaker dinner at our Del Mar location!

We are very excited to announce our next winemaker dinner series, including an evening at our Del Mar location, Stratford Court Cafe! For our May Winemaker Dinner Series we're thrilled to share a fantastic line up of wines from boutique, Paso Robles Winery, Stiekema. We have a fantastic line-up of micro-production wines planned, each which will be presented by owner/winemaker, Mike Stiekema. Mike Stiekema (stick-em-ah) is the one-man-army of Stiekema Wine Company. He fell into the wine industry over 13 years ago. After completing studies in Viticulture & Enology, he landed in Paso Robles in 2018, hungry for high caliber winemaking. Mike strives to produce wines that reflect life’s balance, using sustainable and regenerative practices in the vineyard and winery, fostering a community of growers, makers, and enthusiasts who all share this value. I believe that by honoring the natural cycles of life and the land, we can create wines that not only taste exquisite but also nourish our souls. We encourage you to check out this next-generation winemaker and his exceptional wines. Seating is limited for this series, please see below for reservations. For details on the other dinners as part of this series, please visit our events page: HERE

**Please note, this will be an outdoor event. Though we will have multiple heaters, a sweater or jacket and/or warm attire is recommended.

Each selection will be paired with its own wine inspired dinner course, prepared by Chef Erin Sealy. Chef Erin specializes in pairing food with wine, with a slightly different approach than most. Prior to creating a menu, each wine is tasted and reviewed and then she creates a food pairing, highlighting the nuances of each wine. This concept creates a dinner and pairing experience with layers of complexity and unique creations which exemplify the enjoyment of each wine. With a passion for food and wine, Chef Erin delights attendees with a detailed account of the pairing concept and cooking techniques that create each course. Expect a fabulous evening of wine, food and educational insights! Seating is limited. Please see below for additional dinner details and a registration link.
