Santa Barbara Wine Tour for Harvest For Barnsley Resort Members

In Fall we'll head to one of the most scenic places to drink the best Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay's being produced in the USA and some would say the world! Not only will the weather be perfect, but we will arrive just near the end of harvest. Meaning the option to be involved with picking grapes, working in the cellar or foot stomping grapes has never been more real. We'll have personalized service with the region’s best winemakers, owners and chefs. The real story will be the intimate group in a laid back, high end travel experience like no other. 

This is a private group for members of Barnsley Resort and attendees of Melville and Heathen Wines weekend, held at the reverred Barnsley Resort on April 22/23.

The agenda includes.......

Cheese and wine tasting with Dick and Jenny Dore, owners of Foxen Winery.
