ANNUAL BARREL TASTING

The magic of WINE ROAD’S Annual Barrel Tasting is to get into the cellar and taste wines directly from the barrels. Almost all of the wineries will be selling futures – so plan now to taste…then buy the future! THREE DAYS - Including Friday, Saturday and Sunday this year. 3 DAYS OF TASTING! Many of the wines being offered are so limited they will sell out as futures. After you sample from the barrel, most wineries will also have a few current vintage wines for you to try, so you can buy wine to take home…to hold you over, waiting for those “futures” to get bottled!
