Each year, we pick one wine to go back through and taste all our back vintages, and then share the highlights with the public. This year, we've decided to turn our focus to our Grenache, the Rhone Valley's signature grape and one that we've bottled on its own most years since 2006. At this tasting, Proprietor Jason Haas and Senior Assistant Winemaker Chelsea Franchi will lead guests through a tasting of eight different vintages of our Grenache, from our first-ever 2006 to the recently-bottled 2023, and will discuss the wine's development over time.

Seats at this unique opportunity are $50 for wine club members and $65 for guests, and the event will be limited to 80 people. We expect it to sell out fast. For tickets, click here.

If you have questions, please call our wine club/events office at 805.237.1231 x236.

We're thrilled to reprise our summer winemaker dinner, featuring an estate-grown lamb roast! Join us for a summer evening on the terrace. Chef Jeff Scott will prepare a Mediterranean-style buffet featuring lamb raised on the property and seasonal side dishes, all paired with Tablas Creek wines.

We will be hosting an in-person pickup party for our wine club members in the Fall!

Reservations are now available at 11:00 am 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm.

One of the benefits of being a VINsider Wine Club member is the opportunity, after each semi-annual shipment, to taste the wines in the shipment, learn what new projects we've been working on, and spend some time with the Tablas Creek winemakers and team. The fall tasting party is also when we debut the newest vintages of Esprit de Tablas and Esprit de Tablas Blanc! On Sunday, October 12th, we'll be closing the tasting room to the public and dedicating it to our wine club members. We take each group through the progress of the 2025 harvest, our regenerative organic efforts, and a tasting through the shipment wines. We'll serve a small dish to pair with the whites and another with the reds.

Attendees also receive a day-of-the-event only extra 5% discount on additional purchases of the wines in the shipment. This tasting is open only to VINsiders. You can choose your preferred time slot online, or email wineclub@tablascreek.com or call 805.237.1231 ext 236 with questions or if you'd like help.

We’re excited to be returning to the Mediterranean in the summer of 2026 to host a Rhone River cruise. Proprietor Jason Haas and his wife Meghan will host this 8-day cruise from Arles to Lyon, including visits to Avignon, Viviers, Tain L'Hermitage, and Macon [full itinerary]. We love the intimacy of small-ship river cruises, and the lovely 80-cabin Uniworld S.S. Catherine has been our host for two previous visits to the Rhone.

At each stop, there will be daily shore tours, including a behind-the-scenes visit to the amazing new winery at Chateau de Beaucastel, with a gourmet lunch prepared by the team at Beaucastel’s Michelin-starred restaurant l'Oustalet. There is also an optional pre-cruise addition that will explore Provence.

We have reserved the entire ship for our group for a limited time. Cabins start around $5500 per person. For all the details, and to book, visit our travel partners' Web site at foodandwinetrails.com/cruises/tablascreek2026 or call Food & Wine Trails at (800) 367-5348. We hope that you will join us!
