Our Annual Spring Event

Settle In and Stay Awhile 

There is something special in the air at the estate this time of year as the vines wake up and the season shifts. Spring Fling 2026 is our official kickoff to spring—a day for savory BBQ, relaxed lawn games, and the first pour of our newest releases. It’s “Napa Casual” at its finest: social, spirited, and centered around a shared table.

What Your Ticket Includes

In the Glass

Once you arrive at the estate, the afternoon begins to unfold. You’ll taste a selection of Crocker and Starr wines, explore the property, and settle into the rhythm of the day.

At the Table

Throughout the afternoon, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of several current releases, a generous BBQ spread, and access to the vineyard setting and lawn games.

Around the Estate

The best part is the company. Time with our team, our members, and familiar faces gathered around good wine in a beautiful setting.

Memories from Past Spring Flings

Featured Wines & Seasonal Highlights 

Spring Fling features wines that feel right for this time of year. They’re poured as part of the afternoon, meant to be enjoyed at your own pace rather than approached as a formal tasting.

Featured pours include:

Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Bright and expressive, with the energy and lift that make it ideal for a spring afternoon. 

A.V.A. St Helena Rose
Bright and refreshing, with strawberry and pink apple notes lifted by vibrant acidity, offering a crisp, mineral-driven finish for a warm afternoon on the estate.

Casali Malbec
A vibrant, estate-driven expression with depth and warmth, offering contrast and dimension alongside the season’s food.

How the Afternoon Unfolds

Welcome to the Estate

The moment you arrive, we’ll get you checked in and hand over your tasting tickets. From there, the estate is yours. Head to the tasting station to grab your first pour and start the afternoon right.

Claim Your Home Base

Find a shady spot under the arbors, grab a gazebo, or settle in under an umbrella. This is your “home base” for the day—a place to kick back, relax, and catch up with friends with a glass of wine.

From the Grill

Follow the smoke to the BBQ station, where JB will be firing up Tri-Tip, Chicken, and grilled veggies, followed by some seasonal desserts. It’s hearty, casual, and made for pairing with whatever is in your glass.

Sip, Play, & Repeat

When you’re ready for your next pour, just head back to the tasting station. In between, the games will be calling—challenge someone to a game of Cornhole or Giant Jenga, or just wander the vines.

Settle In with a Bottle

Once you’ve found your favorite of the three featured wines, we invite you to purchase a bottle (or two) to bring back to your home base. There’s no better way to enjoy the arbors than sharing a bottle with your group as the afternoon mellows out.

Here goes your title

Around here, the hands that pick the grapes are the same ones pouring your glass. Come hang out with Pam, Cyrus, and the whole Crocker & Starr team for a day of Cornhole, laughs, and our favorite spring releases. It’s “Napa Casual” at its finest: social, spirited, and centered around a shared table.

Cheers to Great Wine and Great Friends!
