Happy New Year! We wanted to share events for the rest of the month of January, extended hours, new experiences we're launching for the year and dates for 2023 Pick Up Parties! Please read below for more details.
We are thrilled to announce that with the New Year, we will now be open on MONDAYS from 12:00-5:00 PM in addition to Thursday-Sunday. Last pour will remain at 4:00 PM.
Winemaker Tastings
The first Saturday of each month, our winemaker, Mike Nelson, will host winemaker tastings in the dining room at both 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM. Seating will be family style at our farm table of up to ten guests. This experience will cost $40.00 for wine club members ($50.00 for the general public) with a nonrefundable deposit of $25.00 due at the time of booking. Mike will lead guests through an hour long experience tasting five wines of his choosing and discuss everything that went into that bottle from growing the fruit in the vineyard, harvesting, aging the wine, and food pairing suggestions. This experience can be booked on our website or by emailing info@abastriswinery.com to check availability.
Food and Wine Pairing Experience
After a few months of testing out our food and wine pairing experience, we have made a few changes. Due to demand, we have added an additional seating. This experience is offered on Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday at 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM. Guests will receive a welcome pour and then be led through a tasting experience with Aleida, our Sommelier, of four wines paired with four bites. The current food bite menu includes:
- Caprese skewer
- Fresh strawberry with brie
- Meatballs with a chipotle sauce
- Donut hole covered in chocolate sauce
The experience costs $30.00 for wine club members ($40.00 for the general public) and a $20.00 nonrefundable deposit is due at the time of booking. At this time, we are not able to accomodate dietary restrictions. Our food and wine pairing experience may be booked on our website or by emailing info@abastriswinery.com to inquire about availability.
