Join us for an exclusive lunch experience celebrating The Hilt Estate and its acclaimed vineyards, Bentrock and Radian. Clinging to the southwest edge of the Sta. Rita Hills, shaped by near constant Pacific winds, and sustained by ancient marine soils, Bentrock and Radian Vineyards have steadily gained reputations as elite sites for pinot noir and chardonnay. In the ten years since they were acquired by The Hilt Estate, the production and farming team lead by Matt Dees have pushed these rugged and extreme sites to new levels of quality, producing some of the most exciting singular expression pinot noirs and chardonnays in the world. This gathering offers a "deep dive" into the unique terroir, winemaking philosophy and exceptional wines that define these iconic Sta. Rita Hills sites.
