Journeys by Second Pour

November 4–7, 2025 | 3 Days in the Heart of Santa Ynez Wine Country

Escape to one of California’s most enchanting wine regions with Journeys by Second Pour—an intimate, three-day retreat designed for wine lovers seeking rare access, thoughtful hospitality, and lasting connections.

This is more than a wine tour. Over three unforgettable days, you’ll explore the vineyards, cellars, and stories of Santa Ynez’s most celebrated winemakers—all while enjoying private tastings, curated meals, and the luxury of the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn.

A Thoughtfully Curated Experience ✨

Your journey begins with private tastings at Carhartt Family Wines, Artiste Winery, Dragonette Winery, and Clementine Carter, each led by winemakers themselves. Expect behind-the-scenes insights, vineyard walks, and pours of exceptional wines, shared in small groups for an intimate feel.

At Artiste Winery, you’ll go hands-on with a Blending Workshop, crafting your own impression while enjoying a chef-paired lunch. With each stop, conversations flow as freely as the wine, weaving together the artistry, history, and terroir of the Santa Ynez Valley.

Luxury in the Heart of Los Olivos 🛏️

Between vineyard adventures, unwind at the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn, a landmark escape offering elegant rooms, farm-fresh breakfasts, and warm hospitality. Nestled in charming Los Olivos, the inn is surrounded by tasting rooms, boutiques, and stunning countryside.

A Farewell to Remember 🍷

The journey concludes with a private Winemaker Dinner at Nella Kitchen & Bar. Refined Italian cuisine meets Santa Ynez charm as you gather with the featured winemakers for a multi-course feast paired with their wines—a final toast to new friendships and unforgettable memories.
