From Vine to Vintage: Cabernet Franc Experience

Event Date

Sunday, July 5, 2026
1:30pm - 3:00pm

We’ve got something special planned for Cabernet Franc fans!

Join us for From Vine to Vintage: A Cabernet Franc Experience on Sunday, July 5th at 1:30 PM on the crush pad—or inside the production facility if weather doesn’t cooperate. Tickets are $42 plus tax.

This relaxed and flavorful afternoon is all about one of our favorite varietals. You’ll enjoy a guided tasting featuring:
- Multiple vintages of 53rd Cabernet Franc
- A Cabernet Franc-based blend
- Stories and insights from the vineyard and cellar

Winemaker Chelsey Blevins and owner Dave Drillock will share how Cabernet Franc evolves from vine to bottle, what makes each vintage unique, and why this grape continues to be such an important part of our winemaking program.

Your ticket also includes:
- A Riedel Cabernet Franc glass to use during the tasting and take home
- Lite charcuterie fare
- Access to limited older vintages available for purchase while supplies last

Some of these wines are in very limited quantities, and we expect tickets to move quickly. We’d love for you to join us for this special afternoon celebrating Cabernet Franc at 53rd.
