It's harvest time in the Monticello AVA -- and one of Valley Road Vineyards’ most exciting new varietals is Albariño. We released our 2023 Albariño this past Spring and it immediately won a Gold Medal and 2nd place in the Monticello Wine Cup Competition.

Join us on Saturday, September 14th for a unique wine experience as we take you through an Albariño Horizontal Tasting event. You will sample and compare our own 2023 Gold Medal Albariño with Albariño wines from their native Spain and Portugal, as well as from other regions of the world, all in one sitting.

Valley Road’s own wine educator, Alyson Muff (famous for leading our annual Meritage vertical tastings!), will explore this increasingly popular varietal and lead you through a comparison of the flavors, aromas, and nuances of these exceptional wines side-by-side.

This in-person event is perfect for wine enthusiasts looking to expand their palate and knowledge. Don't miss out on this exclusive opportunity to taste and learn about Albariño and feel the energy and rhythms of harvest in the Monticello AVA. Cheers!

Light bites to complement the wines will be available.
