Participating wineries
Each property hosts a different part of the week. Your wristband works at all nine — pick up at whichever one you reach first, then travel.
Adelaida District
Damian Grindley's Welsh hospitality, a limestone-rich hillside, and a tasting room that behaves like a gallery. Brecon hosts the annual Cab Franc Masters, the day Paso's Cabernet Collective takes over the property.
Adelaida District
Bob Tillman's high-elevation Adelaida estate, farmed with as little intervention as possible, with Dallas Parnigoni in the cellar. Alta Colina has hosted wine cruises with Hubba Wines through Food & Wine Trails.
Templeton Gap
Connor McMahon farms 100 acres in the Templeton Gap and makes the kind of wines that convert people who think they don't like wine. His collaborations with Greg Van Wagner at Ajax Cellars are a fixture of the westside calendar.
York Mountain
Jordan Fiorentini's wines from historic York Mountain ground, with acres of open estate for installed work. Epoch's guest-chef Chef's Table dinners and pairings with Denver's Guard and Grace set the tone for the finale's table.
Paso Robles
Andy Neja's boutique cellar, about 850 cases across ten wines, built on decades of farming and production. Cairjn's pairing dinners at Cello Ristorante & Bar sell out downtown.
Paso Robles
Russell P. From's big, unapologetic reds, poured in the Paso Robles Street room. Herman Story was recently featured alongside Desparada at EVER in Chicago.
Tin City
Vailia From's restless, free-spirited wines out of a working Tin City cellar — Sauvignon Blanc, Bordeaux and Italian varietals. Desparada and Herman Story were recently featured together at EVER in Chicago.
Tin City
Bret Urness' Rhône-inspired wines, farmed in the Willow Creek District and made in a Tin City warehouse. Levo is a regular at Graves End's Winemaker Wednesday series with Chef Amy.
Tin City
Don Burns and Claudia Burns' family winery in Tin City makes Rhône blends from Willow Creek and Templeton Gap fruit, including Saxum's James Berry Vineyard, where Don learned the craft alongside Justin Smith. Three of their wines have landed 99 points or better.
