INTO THE WILD

Step into the wild with Zoofandel on Saturday, March 21, 2026. This bold, expressive Zinfandel blend from three historic old-vine vineyards: Cherryhouse, Stampede, and Soucie. This wine is bright, expressive, and beautifully balanced, offering layers of red cherry, cranberry, and subtle pomegranate with a touch of spice. The palate is fresh and lively, showcasing Zinfandel’s signature juiciness without heaviness. Its clean, focused finishlingers gracefully, reflecting both the purity of the fruit and the care behind its creation.

This special afternoon is a collaboration with the Sacramento Zoological Society, with a portion of Zoofandel sales donated to support their conservation and education efforts.

Live music with Nitewind from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
