Sonoma Tastemakers’ Spring Schedule

SEE EVENT DETAILS
at St. Francis Winery & Vineyards (see times)
Launched earlier this year, Sonoma Tastemakers celebrates the harmonious marriage of food and wine throughout Sonoma County. On one Saturday each month throughout 2014, St. Francis Winery & Vineyards’ Tasting Room hosts a different Sonoma County producer. These free tasting events feature small bites ranging from hand pies to BBQ pork sliders, paired with St. Francis’ award-winning wines. The spring schedule includes the following partners:

Dry Creek Olive Oil Company, Saturday, April 26, 2014, 1:00 – 4:00pm
For over 100 years, Dry Creek Valley's low rolling hills and dry, hot summers have quietly nourished olive trees. Since 2006, the award-winning Dry Creek Olive Oil Company has been working to rejuvenate these heritage orchards, and carefully plant varieties to complement them. Rooted in a tradition as rich and fertile as the soil, their artisan approach produces only the very finest extra virgin olive oils. Dry Creek Olive Oil Company uses the highest quality fruit from sustainable, nurtured orchards in Northern California, and authentic Italian-style mills to produce their olive oils.

This year, they earned a Bronze Medal National Award, National from the BBQ Association's Awards of Excellence, San Marcos, TX.
