Join ​us on Friday, April 17 for a wine tasting event in the Hayloft.

Troddenvale cidermaker Will Hodges will lead an immersive wine tasting exploring the “New California” movement — a shift away from heavily extracted, oak-driven wines toward styles that emphasize freshness, balance, and a clearer expression of place. This new generation of winemakers prioritizes thoughtful farming, earlier picking, and minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the character of the vineyard and vintage to shine through. The tasting will feature diverse varietals from the Sierra Foothills, Central Coast, and Napa Valley, highlighting a spirit of experimentation that is reshaping California’s wine identity.

The event begins promptly at 5:30pm and will be hosted in the hayloft of Oakley Farm's historic North Stable. Advance tickets include a curated tasting of 5 wines and light bites, followed by an opportunity to purchase bottles and/or dinner from Gardner's Harvest. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes early so that the event may start on time.

Please Note: This event is limited to 20 tickets and reservations are required. All participants must be 21+ years old to attend.
