This year's event will be a real treat! Kunde is a beautiful 1800 acre spot and has the oldest aging caves in California. We will have a private tour and tasting, walk through their vineyard and taste the grapes. We'll start with red wine tasting in their 36,000 sq. ft. caves and end with a white wine tasting on the patio located next to the garden and pond. A buffet lunch will be served on the patio. There will be plenty of shade as they have many trees and umbrellas. Private parking will be provided for our group. Thanks to Pete Schneider for connecting me with the folks at Kunde for this special day.

We are still in the process of putting together the itinerary as we will be visiting two more wineries during the day. A menu for the lunch will be posted shortly. CFRA will be paying for this event; however we cannot extend this offer to guests due to the cost of the lunch; guests will need to pay on-site. Anyone 21 years or older living in your household is considered a CFRA member. I will post one or two choices for hotels/motels nearby if folks want to stay over.

Please RSVP no later than August 15th so we can get a head count for the food. Registration will be set up on the website.

Hope to see you all there, it will be fun!
