A Day in the Loire

Saturday May 16, 2009 ~ 12 - 4 p.m.

Join us as we pay hommage to all things Loire Valley and French.

Jazz with a French Twist: Jeff is from San Francisco and Isabelle is French. After performing in France for 15 years, they are bringing Duo
Gadjo to the Bay Area. 1 minute download

When founder David Stare built Dry Creek Vineyard, he did so with a passion for the wines of the Loire Valley. Almost 40 years later, we continue to uphold those traditions.

The day will be filled with wine, French cuisine, art, and the French inspired Jazz music of Duo Gadjo. Click to play their version of: La Vie en Rose. Games and prizes with a French spin - pétanque anyone? - will round out a can't miss day. We look forward to seeing you!

Dry Creek Vineyard Participates in Passport to Dry Creek Valley

Two Days: April 25-26, 2009
11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Come on all you Parrotheads - the “winery for sailors” invites you to a Jimmy Buffett hideaway. Spring in the Dry Creek Valley means ocean breezes in our cellar. Sway to the motion of the ocean, sip Fumé Blanc on a white sand beach and nibble jerk chicken with Zinfandel. Over 35 years of Family Winemaking - and still having fun! Featuring Garratt Wilkin & The Parrotheads - A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett's Music.

Passport to Dry Creek Valley is an annual event showcasing the wineries, vineyards and exceptional beauty of Dry Creek Valley. There are over 62 wineries and 150 growers in the Dry Creek Valley, producing a variety of wines to please any palate. Wineries up and down Dry Creek Valley celebrate the magic of their valley with wine, food, entertainment and the hospitality for which Dry Creek Valley is famous. Many of the wineries create a theme around which they showcase their wine. You are certain to be carried away by the festive atmosphere that each winery creates.

Unlike other large tasting events Passport tickets are limited and therefore offer a more intimate experience. It allows participants a chance to speak to and connect with the winemakers and vineyard owners on a personal level, and learn more about the history and culture of Dry Creek Valley and its wines. Because the number of participants is limited, Passports are sold through a process of random selection. Passport to Dry Creek Valley is held the last full weekend of April each year, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Dry Creek Vineyard Participates in 31st Barrel Tasting

Two Weekends: March 7-8 and 14-15, 2009
11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Dry Creek Vineyard and the other participating members of the Russian River Wine Road would like to welcome you to our wineries and lodgings for an exciting weekend of wine tasting. This is your chance to sample wines from the barrel, talk to winemakers and explore the beautiful Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys. Barrel Tasting is not a food or themed event. It's all about the WINE. The goal of Barrel Tasting is to introduce people to wines still in the barrel, help guests learn about wine and better understand what they're tasting. This is a chance to purchase wine now, often at a discount, then come back to the winery when the wine is bottled, typically 12-18 months from now.

To taste at any of the participating wineries those weekends, you will need to purchase the Barrel Tasting wristband and glass. You can purchase your entry on the Friday of each weekend and enjoy three full days of Barrel Tasting by wearing your wristband. Online tickets will be sold January 23 through March 1 for $20 per person. At the door, the price will be $30 per person.
