Upcoming Events

Offering wine en primeur is a time-honored French tradition most often associated with first-growth Bordeaux estates. Top customers are offered the opportunity to secure a limited quantity of sought-after wines at a special price in advance of bottling and subsequent general release. On Saturday, December 1st, club members are invited to join Tablas Creek's winemakers for our annual barrel tasting of our top red wines from the exceptional 2017 vintage: the 2017 Esprit de Tablas and 2017 Panoplie. As in previous years, we’ll ask attendees to choose from one of two sessions (10:30am & 1:30pm), and offer at each session a tasting and discussion as well as a seasonal dish created to pair with the wines. The $55 cost to attend the event is waived with any en primeur order.

We are proud each year to sponsor Festival Mozaic, which brings orchestral and chamber music to the Central Coast each summer and in two "Wintermezzo" weekends in November and February. One of our favorite opportunities that the festival offers is a series called Notable Encounters: intimate concerts and discussions paired with gourmet food and great wines in wonderful venues.

This year, we're sponsoring a weekend of chamber music focusing on German composer Felix Mendelssohn. Join us Saturday, February 23th for a gourmet farm-to-table dinner (paired with Tablas Creek wine, of course) prepared by Field to Table Catering at a private home in Varian Ranch, outside Arroyo Grande.

The evening will also include an interactive presentation, performance, and discussion by Music Director Scott Yoo and other festival musicians, who will then join us all for dinner and to mingle.  For more information or to buy tickets, visit festivalmozaic.com or call 805.781.3009.

We’re excited to be returning to the Mediterranean in the summer of 2019 to host a Mediterranean cruise aboard the wonderful Oceania ship Sirena. Executive Winemaker Neil Collins, with his wife Marci, and Assistant Winemaker Craig Hamm, with his partner Annika, will host this 13-day experience that begins June 16th with a pre-cruise program in Avignon (including a behind-the-scenes visit to Chateau de Beaucastel and the Perrins' new properties in Gigondas, with a gourmet lunch prepared by Beaucastel’s Michelin-starred chef Laurent Deconick) before embarking in Monte Carlo on June 18th.  The cruise will continue down the Italian coast, make stops in Corsica and Sardinia, cross the Mediterranean and proceed up the Spanish coast, disembarking in Barcelona on June 28th.

Throughout the trip, we will be offering Tablas Creek and Famille Perrin wines with meals, exploring connections with local food and wine culture, and sharing our perspectives and experiences.

Our travel partner Food & Wine Trails makes sure that the shore excursions are memorable and the food and amenities are top notch. The itinerary and event details are at foodandwinetrails.com/tablascreek2019.
