A virtual experience with SAMsARA is so much more than a webinar. Coming to you live from inside SAMsARA's small, working cellar, an October tasting date means you will see the inner workings and nuance that goes into their small-lot, low intervention wines. The winery hand sorts and foot stomps every cluster that enters the cellar and the team uses all their senses to shepherd these exceptional wines through fermentation. A SAMsARA harvest day is a rich, personal, multi-sensory experience, and here's your chance to get into the fold. This event is geared towards students and lovers of wine who want time to ask both SAMsARA's winemaker, Matt Brady, and their advanced sommelier, Tristan Pitre, how the wine you are smelling, tasting and feeling is molded and how our winemaking decisions directly influence what's in the glass. If you've ever wondered how the layers of flavors in a wine are derived from choices in the vinification process, how whole cluster and oak play upon each other to create structure or how the balance between acid, tannin and fruit is achieved, you will learn more than you ever imagined you wanted. 

Harvest is the most electric time to visit virtually—fermentation in the air, grapes coming in, and the cellar at full throttle. SAMsARA loves giving guests a peek behind the scenes— you will be able to see progressing fermentations, punch downs, cellar organization and their crew hard at work bringing you the purest expression of Sta. Rita Hills through tireless efforts, directly into your glass.
