Valentines Day Wine Dinner

When: 
Wednesday, February 14, 2024
5:00 pm
Where: 

The Alisal Guest Ranch in Solvang at 1054 Alisal Road in Solvang

NOTE: The guest list closes at 50 guests.

Lucas & Lewellen will once again celebrate Valentines Day with their wine family, this year with a Sparkling Wine reception and Valentines Winemaker Dinner at the romantic Alisal Guest Ranch (not the River Grill this year!)

Mike Lewellen and Louis Lucas will share the background story on featured wines throughout the dinner showcasing impressive culinary pairings. Menu below.

$200 per person for members, $225 for non-members. Credit card will be charged on February 7th and no refunds will be offered on cancellations received February 7th and after. The guest list fills fast for this one so reserve early by emailing Anjie@LLWine.com. Will post here once the event is waitlisted. Dress for the evening is whatever you would wear for "date night". The Alisal likes jackets/sport coats for the guys but if you hate a jacket, they won't turn you away! Be sure to bring something warm as the Champagne reception is outdoors and Santa Ynez winter evenings can be very cold.

Staying in town? The Alisal is offering a really great promotional rate to all you Valentines, which they aren't normally able to extend. Click here for details
