Breakfast talk, demonstration and hands-on activity

Garden Manager Geoff Palla and COPIA's Senior Wine Educator Kevin Toomajian will lead you from vineyard to wineglass.  Breakfast in the Edible Gardens, then tour our demonstration vineyards, learning the ins and outs of viticulture from bud break to crop load. Next, it's inside to taste the properties of the Bordeaux varietals and use what you have learned to mix your own unique bottle of private reserve wine.

Multi-course al fresco lunch with wine

In the sun-drenched villages of Provence, summer brings the Grand Aioli - a feast of garden-fresh vegetables, grilled meats and fish, all served with thick, garlicky aioli, crusty artisan breads and summer wines.  Join us in COPIA's shady Olive Grove, where long tables set with white linens, sparkling tablewear and lush greenery await you for a Napa-style Grand Aioli, accompanied by live music.
