Five years ago, The Barn at The Hilt Estate opened its doors, becoming a shared home for the wines of both The Hilt and JONATA.
On Saturday, June 27th, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable afternoon as we celebrate this five-year milestone!
For the occasion, we’ll be pouring selections of The Hilt and JONATA from our 2021 vintage, a meaningful reflection of the year we first welcomed guests into our tasting room. In addition, we’ve curated a perfect summer afternoon with freshly shucked oysters and seasonal bites from Clark’s Oyster Bar Montecito, alongside music by Val-Mar Records, spinning an all-vinyl DJ set of ultra-groovy, retro tunes.
