On Wednesday, December 6, 2023, from 3:00 – 5:30 p.m. the Napa | Sonoma chapter of Women for WineSense’s (WWS) Winemaking & Viticulture Roundtable will host its members’ 9th Annual Festive Bottle Exchange at Sterling Vineyards, 1111 Dunaweal Lane, Calistoga, CA 94515. The Roundtable will be hosted by their winemaker and WWS member, Lauren Kopit.
ABOUT THE EVENT:
Please, no walk-ins. The free roundtable meeting is open to WWS professional members and their qualified guest women winemakers, viticulturists, vineyard and winery GM’s and owners who have RSVP’s no later than Tuesday, 12/5, at 5pm.
On Wednesday, 12/6, early arrivals will meet at 3:00 p.m. to enjoy time for mingling and reconnecting after a busy harvest. At 3pm sharp, attendees will enjoy a holiday treat riding up to the winery in Sterling’s newly renovated famous tram system then arrive to a festive sampling of wines.
At 3:30 p.m. Lauren Kopit will lead a behind-the-scenes production tour for the professional winemakers and viticulture guests that will be focused on the most technical aspects of making Sterling’s portfolio of wines.
At 4:00 p.m. the group will enjoy more wine tasting, discussion and a tiered gift exchange of special bottles from each of the attendees’ collections. The bottle exchange is grouped in progressive retail price tiers, starting at $25, topping out at $100+, so attendees can exchange similar wines.
Attendees are encouraged to bring both a bottle of their wine to share in the festive bottle exchange and a second bottle as thanks to the Roundtable hosts. Carpools are available.
