2008 Winery Events
Vincent Arroyo Winery hosts several events each year.
Barrel Sampling Event last Saturday of February each year.
A great opportunity to taste the upcoming vintage while they are still in the barrel.
Open House, first Saturday of May each year.
Our Open House is an opportunity to thank many of our customers for making us a success year after year. We use this event to bring out library wines that have previously been sold out. We pour as many older vintages as possible, to let customers see how their wines are aging without breaking into their own cellars!
Winemaker Dinner, first Weekend of May, by reservation only.
The Winemaker Dinner is a sit-down dinner at the winery. We pair a delicious catered menu with special wines from the library.
Arroyo Open
Each year in August, the winery holds the Arroyo Open at the Mt. St. Helena Golf Course, located next to the fairgrounds in Calistoga. After a fun afternoon of unique challenges at each hole, golfers return to the winery for a catered buffet dinner paired with several of our wines that are specially selected for the event. For those of you who do not golf, but don't want to miss out on the opportunity to enjoy a delicious dinner and a visit with Vince, there are a limited amount of tickets available just for dinner. This event is available by reservation only: please contact the winery directly for details.
Amigos De Arroyo
If you have always wanted to experience a day in the life of a winemaker, this event is tailor made for you! Each year in October, the winery hosts an event called Amigos de Arroyo. Amigos de Arroyo is a group that gets together at the winery during harvest to have a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience. A lucky group of 80 "Amigos" joins together each year to hand-pick some perfectly ripe grapes, transport them back to the winery for some old-fashioned stomping fun. After the hard work is done, the Amigos feast on paella prepared over an open fire and toast a great day with some of Vince's best wines. The grapes harvested and stomped by the "Amigos" are then turned into delicious wine under Vincent's watchful eye. Each member of the Amigos group will receive 2 bottles of the wine that they help to make once it has been bottled and they are all listed on the label as winemakers! If you are interested in becoming an "Amigo", let us know when you confirm your Standing Order and we will enter you in the Lottery.
