Pinot Paradise Grand Cruz Tasting

On March 27th from 2pm to 5pm, the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association will host a special follow up event to the previous day's Pathway to Pinot Paradise. The Grand Cruz Tasting will take place at Villa Ragusa in Historic Downtown Campbell.

Fun Fact: Did you know that because of the nearby rail tracks, Campbell became a hub in the Valley for shipping fruit, "and within a short period of time, the drying grounds and canneries made Campbell an important rail center. The Campbell Fruit Growers' Union became a well known cooperative with its 17-acre drying yard," and the city had three major canneries. So there's a connection with agriculture and fruit growing, although it's mostly been paved over now. 

See this history come to life in the terrific regional wines that will be served at this event. For more information or to purchase tickets ($55 in advance, $65 at the door) visit the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association website.
