Boisset Announces Complimentary Tastings at DeLoach Vineyards and Raymond Vineyards
Declaring the Wine World is Open to All to Learn, Discover and Enjoy
DeLoach Vineyards and Raymond Vineyards announced a new vision for welcoming guests to their wineries with complimentary tasting flights on Thursdays and Sundays designed to educate and entice guests. Both wineries have more than 100 years of combined history in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley as well as Rutherford in Napa Valley.
“We exist to bring people into the wine world,” said Jean-Charles Boisset, Proprietor. “We believe in the power of education and fun to ignite the next generation of wine consumers at every age. Our wineries are platforms for connection, inspiration, knowledge, and excitement.”
The wine experience has been curated by Boisset’s Master of Wine, Clare Tooley. “Now more than ever, it’s vital that we declare to the world that the wine community is open, inclusive, inviting and inspiring!” added Clare Tooley, MW, and Vice President of Guest Experience for the Boisset Collection.
At DeLoach Vineyards, the complimentary tasting will highlight the winery’s long history and deep connection to the Russian River Valley with a flight featuring three wines from the region’s hallmark varietals: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Zinfandel, paired with education on the winery’s fifty-year history, its Biodynamic farming methods, and the region’s abundant micro-climates and diverse terroir. Guests will be seated outdoors among the organic and Biodynamic estate vineyards at the winery on the Olivet Bench.
Raymond Vineyards in Napa Valley’s esteemed Rutherford appellation will offer a three-wine tasting flight chosen from its Napa Valley Reserve Selection wines: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The complimentary flight will be presented outdoors in the winery’s “GROVE” adjacent to the estate vineyards also farmed according to organic and Biodynamic principles. The complimentary flight at Raymond accompanies numerous experiences that welcome guests to discover wine and learn in an engaging way.
“We designed the Raymond hospitality experience to educate, inspire and welcome,” elaborated Boisset. “From our complimentary Theater of Nature, the Crystal Cellar, our Rutherford terroir room or Winemaker for a Day blending experience, every element of the winery was designed to educate and empower our guests to dive as deep into Napa Valley as they like, or simply to enjoy, reflect and connect with one another – for this is the power of wine.”
In addition, Raymond has created new immersive experiences, including the Journey of the Senses: An Immersive Vineyard, Garden and Winery Tour that travels from its Biodynamic estate vineyard to its Theater of Nature and beyond to a private perfume sensory garden, concluding with a winery tour and wine tasting surrounded by nature’s beauty and tranquility.
They have also created a series of wine tastings paired with the arts together with Nimbus Arts. These immersive wine and art experiences invite guests to become the creators of their artistic vision, inspired by the artistic vision of the winery itself. “Life is a Theater,
Wine is our Muse, and we are the actors on the stage!” declared Boisset.
