Join us on Friday, April 17 for a wine tasting event in the Hayloft!
Troddenvale cidermaker Will Hodges will lead an immersive wine tasting exploring the “New California” movement — a shift away from heavily extracted, oak-driven wines toward styles that emphasize freshness, balance, and a clearer expression of place. This new generation of winemakers prioritizes thoughtful farming, earlier picking, and minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the character of the vineyard and vintage to shine through. The tasting will feature diverse varietals from the Sierra Foothills, Central Coast, and Napa Valley, highlighting a spirit of experimentation that is reshaping California’s wine identity.
