History has a funny way of coming full circle. Founded in 1874 as a dry colony, Lompoc, California, once used ropes and vigilantes to keep spirits out. Today, that same soil produces some of the most prestigious wines in the Santa Rita Hills.
Join us on Friday, April 17th at 6PM as we welcome Justin Charbonneau, founder and winemaker of Temperance Cellars. Justin crafts small-lot, food-focused wines that pay homage to Lompoc’s rebellious roots.
For $80 per person, enjoy a four-course journey through local terroir paired with hand-crafted vintages.
