Spend a perfect afteroon in the Russian River Valley hills with this value-packed wine tasting for four people from the esteemed Balletto Vineyards  complete with a bottle of Russian River Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

"In my mind, I know exactly what the perfect wine from each estate vineyard should be. I know how it should smell, taste and change both in the glass that evening and in the bottle during a decade of aging.

This ideal – distinct for each vineyard – guides the countless decisions, big and small, that we make from vine pruning through harvesting, blending, aging and bottling. We’re focused – and a little obsessed – on getting that ideal, perfect wine into the bottle. It’s no easy task.  

To do it consistently, and across several different varietals, each wine needs an extremely light winemaking touch so the vineyard itself can define the wine. When grapes are grown well and harvested at the right time, all we want to do in the winery is coax them in the right direction and make sure they are headed where we want them to go."
