COUNTY LEGENDS CELLAR SALON
We will be hosting a very special Cellar Salon in December; another big slumber party (salon + room, dinner optional) to celebrate the rarest and most elusive wines in the land. We have secured some true County vintages from some of the earliest Pinot plantings and will also be presenting a number of wines by our founding fathers. This is one not to miss and we want to keep it going late into the evening. All hotel guests enjoy all nine wines at no cost.
CELLAR SALON SLUMBER PARTIES
