About this Event
A Rhône-Style Exploration with a Regenerative Pioneer
Join us for a special guided wine tasting featuring Tablas Creek Vineyard, the renowned American offspring of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s Château de Beaucastel. Founded by the Haas family in partnership with the Perrin family of Beaucastel, Tablas Creek has brought the classic grapes of the Southern Rhône Valley to California with extraordinary precision and integrity.
At the heart of this tasting are the iconic Rhône varieties:
🍇 Grenache – expressive, juicy, and vibrant
🍇 Syrah – structured, savory, and spice-driven
🍇 Mourvèdre – earthy, complex, and deeply aromatic
Tablas Creek is one of the very few producers in the world to offer single-varietal bottlings of each of these grapes alongside a classic GSM blend, allowing guests to experience firsthand how each grape’s individual character comes together in harmony. The tasting will culminate with their flagship blend, Esprit de Tablas, one of the most celebrated GSM wines in the world.
This event will be presented by Olivier Lotterie of Vineyard Brands and Hugues Beaulieu of Elite Wines, who will share the remarkable story of the Haas family, their Franco-American collaboration, and the philosophy behind these exceptional wines.
🌱 Sustainability at the Forefront
Tablas Creek is a global leader in environmentally responsible viticulture. The vineyard is the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified® winery and a multiple recipient of the prestigious Green Award, reflecting their commitment to soil health, biodiversity, animal integration, and long-term sustainability.
🧀 Food Pairing
All wines will be paired with a thoughtfully curated charcuterie selection featuring local and sustainably farmed ingredients, designed to complement the depth and balance of Rhône-style wines.
Whether you’re a Rhône enthusiast, a sustainability-minded wine lover, or simply curious to taste one of the world’s great wine traditions expressed through a California lens, this tasting promises an educational and delicious experience.
Spaces are limited—reserve your glass and join us for an unforgettable journey through one of wine’s most iconic blends. 🍷
