Summer "Sam"gria and misters on the patio!
Saturdays and Sundays in July
Escape the valley heat and head up to the foothills! Shadow Ranch's hilltop perch means there's almost always a breeze. Add on the shade cloths and misters and you've got a great escape from July weather.
This month we are bringing back "Sam"gria, winemaker Sam's special Sangria recipe! It's the perfect drink to cool off on these warm summer afternoons.
Club Members can get one glass of 1¢ Samgria* when they come into the tasting room during the month of July!
*Club Members will be charged 1¢ (one cent) for their first glass of Sangria during the month of July. Limited to one 1¢ glass per club membership. Available on Saturdays and Sundays until supplies last. After the first glass, Samgria is $8/glass for Club Members.

Back to school wine education event
Saturday, August 17th
12 pm - 1:30 pm
Back to School? No thanks. Back to Wine School? Now we're talking! Learn the intricacies of wine tasting and some winemaking secrets from Shadow Ranch's owner and winemaker, Sam Patterson. You'll have the opportunity to taste several different varietals side by side and learn how to pick up on the notes that distinguish one from another.
Sam will guide you through what to look for, smell, and taste when you go wine tasting. With his background in both vineyard management and winemaking he can answer all your burning questions about grapes, wine, and everything in between! By the end of this class you'll be able to wine taste like a pro and impress your friends on your next excursion to wine country.
Bonus: This event will be hosted down in the Shadow Ranch cellar, where the temperature is always cool, but not too cool for school.
