You are invited to join the Bailliage of Greater Washington, DC, on our annual Summer Sojourn to Barboursville Vineyards in the beautiful rolling hills of central Virginia. Winemaker Luca Paschina will welcome us on the patio overlooking the vineyards (or in the arcades if it’s raining) for a tasting of four wines accompanied by assaggini from Chef Spencer Crawford. We will then enjoy a seated five-course seasonal luncheon in the estate’s Palladio Restaurant, with each course paired with a Barboursville wine.

Additionally, you may decide to attend a performance that evening of Shakespeare’s As You Like It by the local Four County Players in the ruins of the original Barbour mansion on the grounds of the vineyard. For those who wish to spend the night, there are a few luxurious rooms still available at the inn and cottages on the Barboursville estate, and there are hotels within 15 miles of the vineyard. Contact Barboursville or the hotel of your choice directly to make lodging reservations.

Join the Société Mondiale du Vin of the Bailliage of Greater Washington as we meet at San Lorenzo Restaurant to explore the lovely wines made from the sauvignon blanc grape.

Everyone is asked to bring a bottle of their favorite (or perhaps not-so-favorite) sauvignon blanc from anywhere in the world. We’ll put each bottle in a tasting bag, give you a glass, ask you to take a small taste of each, make some notes, and vote for your favorite. There are no wrong answers, it is your palate! At the end of the event, we’ll reveal the winner and invite the person who brought that wine to say a few words about it.

Certified Sommelier Chevalier Marc Mancher will share information about this wonderful grape and by the end of the afternoon, you should be more knowledgeable about sauvignon blanc than before you arrived. We will have five lovely hors d’oeuvres made by Chef/Owner of San Lorenzo Restaurant Massimo Fabbri, to help open your palette. Those should add to the lively discussion about the various wines and how food pairs with them.
