Sonoma County Vintners Pour + Explore

Rosé + Zinfandel Tasting at St. Francis Winery

Friday, September 18

Use code SFWVClub20 at checkout to unlock your discounted St. Francis Wine Club Guest Pricing.

We’re delighted to welcome Sonoma County Vintners’ Pour + Explore tasting experience to St. Francis Winery, produced in collaboration with Sommelier Christopher Sawyer.

Set in the heart of Sonoma Valley, where our estate vineyards meet the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains, this special evening celebrates two distinctive sides of Sonoma County wine: vibrant Rosés that capture the bright flavors of summer and bold, expressive Zinfandels that usher in the flavors of fall.

More than 25 Sonoma County wineries will be featured throughout the evening, offering guests the opportunity to taste a diverse selection of Rosé and Zinfandel while discovering the unique character of each wine and the vineyards and winemakers behind them. Enjoy selections from St. Francis winemakers Katie Madigan and Chris Louton alongside wines from across the region, all gathered in one unforgettable Sonoma Valley setting.

Meet winery representatives, discover new favorites, and connect with fellow wine lovers while enjoying light appetizers prepared by Executive Chef Peter Janiak and our culinary team. As the evening unfolds, take in the beauty of the vineyards and Mayacamas Mountains as the sun sets over Sonoma Valley.

The evening will also feature music by Parties From Scratch, known for creating energetic, wine country-inspired atmospheres at events throughout Sonoma County.

Whether you’re drawn to the fresh, lively character of Rosé, the richness and spice of Zinfandel, or both, Pour + Explore is an invitation to savor two of Sonoma County’s signature wines and the changing seasons they represent.
