Nestled on a south-facing slope in the northwest corner of the Santa Cruz Mountains lies Mindego Ridge Winery, which specializes in single vineyard, 100% estate grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The ocean-influenced climate, in combination with steep hillsides and rocky soils, produce fruit of intense varietal character and wines that are precise and focused with exotic fruit and unique minerality. Minimal intervention is the ethos of SF Chronicle Winemaker of the Year, Ehren Jordan, who partnered with the Mindego Ridge owners in 2015.

You and 12 other couples will enjoy an exclusive evening at the winemaker's private residence in the Santa Cruz Mountains, on a mutually agreed upon date, that includes: a walking vineyard tour by the Mindego Ridge owners, Dave and Stacey Gollnick; an outdoor sunset meal overlooking the Chardonnay vineyard, featuring wood-fired pizzas and farm-to-table salads and produce prepared by a private chef; current release, pre-release and library wines presented and poured by the owners; and luxury transportation to and from the vineyard. Please note, the winning bidder -- collectively with their guests -- is expected to purchase a minimum of 6-8 cases ($5K worth) of wine while onsite.
