We've expanded your exclusive membership perks to show our deep appreciation for your loyalty! Beginning today, you'll have priority access to visit Somerston Estate, our stunning sister property and the heart of our vineyard and winemaking. Somerston Estate is renowned for producing exceptional single-block wines of the highest quality, and we can't wait for you to experience it.

Introducing Our Events Director
I'm also excited to introduce Kate Strayer, our new Director of Events & Experiences!
