It sounds pretty amazing, right?
Our guests love these seminars
and winemaker, Craig Larson, so make your reservation early!
Space is limited to twenty guests and seminars sell out very quickly.
Callaway winemaker, Craig Larson, takes you on an
interesting journey through various topics of winemaking
and includes instruction on vineyard management,
the harvest and crush processes, fermentation, barrel aging
and even how to taste, serve and store wines.
You will venture into the vineyard, “adopt a vine” then follow it’s growth throughout the seasons when you attend all four seminars. Each seminar ends with a casual wine tasting with
a specific wine focus and includes notes from the seminar,
a collection of recipes, a certificate of completion and a thank you gift. Come join us for this fun and unique experience!
We suggest that you wear weather appropriate clothing
and casual, flat shoes. You may also want to bring sunscreen,
a hat,
sunglasses and a camera.
A Taste of Winter Seminar - SOLD OUT
January 22, 2012
In Winter, the vines are pruned for their winter nap. Craig will talk about why pruning is good for the vine, how pruning is done and what is considered before each snip. This instruction will be followed by a relaxed discussion in the Chardonnay Room where topics like how to serve and store wines will be addressed. Various bottles will be viewed and you will learn what bottle shapes and sizes can tell you about the wine that’s in them. We finish this seminar with a delightful tasting of our ruby port and dessert wines, paired with dessert, of course!

A Taste of Spring Seminar
April 22, 2012
We begin this seminar with a mimosa, continental breakfast
and walk in the vineyard. Craig will talk about the grape varieties that we grow at Callaway, the terroir, the grapevine and it’s growing cycle, trellising and upcoming treatments that will be done during this phase of the growth cycle. Then it’s back into the winery where you taste white wines and learn specific tasting techniques used to evaluate wines. You will
learn about the color, clarity, aroma, taste, body and finish
of the wines you taste which will include one unfiltered tank sample and several finished white wines.
A Taste of Summer Seminar
July 15, 2012
The Summer seminar is all about fermentation and the winemaking process. The day begins with a guided tour of our production facility followed by a visit to the lab where Craig
will discuss some of the procedures and chemical analysis that are done and their effects on the final product. We will offer a flight tasting of roses so that you will learn how they are made, how they get their color and what styles and grape varieties can be used. A casual boxed lunch and a glass of your favorite rose will finish off this seminar.
A Taste of Autumn Seminar
October 21, 2012
Autumn is the time for harvest. The grapes have been picked and crushed. Now the winemaker will also discuss the use of barrels in winemaking with a focus on topics such as how barrels are made, toasted and used to impart wonderful flavors and aromas to both red and white wines. The various parts
of a barrel, sizes and names of the barrels and the differences between French and American oak will also be reviewed.
Then sample wine directly from the barrel, followed by a
tasting of several finished red wines paired with an
assortment of wonderful artisan cheeses.
