Private Lunch for Six and Wine

Enjoy a private lunch for six at Flanagan’s brand new winery overlooking the Dry Creek Valley with Eric and Kit Flanagan.

Flanagan Wines began in 1999 with the purchase of forty acres in Bennett Valley.  In 2011, they acquired a small Russian River Valley vineyard, and, starting with the 2014 vintage, they’ve added vineyard designated wines from top vineyards in the Russian River Valley and the Sonoma Coast.  Vineyard sources now include Ritchie Vineyard and Bacigalupi Vineyard for Chardonnay, and Sun Chase and Sonoma Stage for Pinot Noir.  In 2015, they also added the iconic Platt Vineyard as a source for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  Flanagan believes that Platt may be the best vineyard in California for those varietals.

And now, Flanagan Winery is moving into their home in Healdsburg. The site has ten acres of vineyards, sweeping views of Dry Creek Valley, and a beautiful tasting room.  

Flanagan Winery is committed to balanced, healthy vineyards, and to producing wines that reflect the integrity and distinctiveness of their site.

You will also receive three 750ml bottles of their highly-prized 2011 Serenity Way Proprietary Red at the time of your visit. They craft this “Tete de Cuvee” blend of Cabernet and Merlot from the very best barrels in the winery. The blend varies each year and is driven by a commitment to producing a wine that can rival the top wines of Bordeaux or Napa. Production of this wine is always tiny. The nose shows the unique violet notes that are a signature of their site along with hints of

vanilla and ripe dark fruits. On the palate the wine is a seamless presentation of classic Bordeaux flavors. Cassis fruit intertwines with mocha notes and a classic Pauillac cigar box in the late mid-palate. The tannin structure is both supple and robust....this is a wine that will age for many, many years. Only 225 cases produced.

Advance reservations required. Valid until October 31, 2017.
