THE ULTIMATE VALUE IN THE VALLEY

What Your Ticket Includes



Big Bottles
& Passport Tasting

The cellar opens wide for Carnivus Maximus, with current releases poured alongside library selections and large-format bottles spanning multiple vintages. A tasting passport guides you through every pour across the estate — collect stamps at each station, complete your journey, and earn an entry into the drawing for a magnum of 1 Post. It’s a rare opportunity to taste across decades, revisit favorites, and experience how our wines evolve, all in one afternoon.

Feast with Our Favorite Local Chefs

Experience a full-throttle harvest feast spread across the estate. Our favorite local chefs are bringing their best: fresh-shucked oysters, artisan wood-fired pizzas, slow-roasted barbecue, and giant pans of savory paella. Between pours, enjoy seasonal granita alongside a curated selection of cheese and charcuterie. These are big, bold flavors designed to match our biggest bottles, served whenever you’re ready for the next bite.


Music, Games & Prizes All Afternoon

The celebration stretches across the full estate, with something happening at every turn. High-energy live music from a local favorite band sets the rhythm for the afternoon, while lawn games and a round of “Count the Corks” keep the energy going. Keep an eye out for chances to win our Grand, Grander, and GRANDEST prizes throughout the day.

 

The Best in the Valley

Carnivus Maximus is more than an event — it’s an afternoon shared with the people who make this place what it is. Our founders, winemakers, and hospitality team will be there alongside you, celebrating another harvest among the vines with the greatest of friends.

A Feast Without Limits

This isn’t just a pairing—it’s a true harvest feast. Throughout the estate, our favorite local chefs are serving up a massive spread: fresh-shucked oysters, artisan wood-fired pizzas, slow-roasted barbecue, and giant pans of savory paella. Between pours, grab a plate of cheese & charcuterie or a refreshing seasonal granita. It’s an afternoon of big flavors designed to match our biggest bottles, served whenever and wherever you’re ready for the next bite.

Turn It Up in the Vines

The vineyard comes alive with a high-energy soundtrack curated for our 30th harvest. We’ve invited a local band to set the rhythm for the afternoon, keeping the party moving as fast as the large format bottles are flowing.

Grab a glass, hit the games, and let the music drive the celebration from the first pour to the final prize drawing.

Bring Your Game Face

The estate transforms into a playground of high-stakes harvest fun. Test your skills at lawn games across the property, take your best shot at ‘Count the Corks,’ and fill your passport to unlock entries for our legendary prize drawings. Every bottle you take home adds more chances to win, putting the Grand, Grander, and GRANDEST prizes within your reach. It’s all about bold plays, great friends, and winning big in the vines. 

A Harvest Feast on a Grand Scale

Experience a full-throttle harvest feast spread across the estate. Our favorite local chefs are bringing their best: fresh-shucked oysters, artisan wood-fired pizzas, slow-roasted barbecue, and giant pans of savory paella. Between pours, enjoy seasonal granita and a selection of cheese & charcuterie. These are big, bold flavors designed to match our biggest bottles, served whenever you’re ready for the next bite.
