Au Bon Climat Open House

Au Bon Climat Open House

Twice yearly the Au Bon Climat Open House is held at the word-famous Bien Nacido Vineyard. This October it was the Annual Fall Open House with wines from Au Bon Climat, Qupe, Verdad, and Ethan. For a small cost you can try many exciting vintages and enjoy a tasty luncheon prepared by the Au Bon Climat winemaker himself, Jim Clendenen. This is an extremely special event since Au Bon Climat is not open to the public for tastings or tours. The Open House is a great opportunity for visitors to taste the wines and visit the winery. It is usually held in April and October, so don’t miss out on your chance to attend. What can be better than sipping fantastic wine with a sweeping view of the Bien Nacido Vineyard at this Winetastic event!
