Big Basin Vineyards Winemaker Dinner at Sent Sovi

We will be hosting a special four-course winemaker dinner at Sent Sovi in Saratoga on Thursday November 17th. The dinner will feature the cuisine of Chef Josiah Slone which will perfectly compliment the wines served with each course. Winemaker/proprietor Bradley Brown will talk about the wines, stories from the 2011 harvest season and answer questions at this intimate dinner - only 20 tickets will be sold. A chef/winemaker reception will precede the dinner. The cost of this dinner is $130 per person (includes Gratuity). Friends of the Vineyard are offered a special price of $120 per person (includes Gratuity). Purchase tickets online or order your tickets by calling (408-564-7346) or visiting our Saratoga Tasting Room. If demand warrants, we will add a second night on Wednesday November 16.
