The History of Sparkling Wines in the Sta. Rita Hills

August 13th Friday morning 9:30 – 12:00 / $75.00 per person

Montemar Winery, 1501 E Chestnut Ct, Suite E, Lompoc 

Moderator: Adam Lee

Is there a better way to start your morning off than with bubbles? A comprehensive look at how sparkling wines got their start in our region and their evolution over the years. Why is Sta. Rita Hills an obvious location to grow sparkling wines? How does it compare to other regions and why are so many producers adding sparklers to their line-up. A one-hour discussion with our winemakers followed by a table tasting where you can roam Montemar’s beautiful back garden tasting bubbles from our participating wineries.
