FrancFest at Gainey Vineyard
Come join this committed collection of wineries celebrating the rather mysterious, finicky and celebrated Cabernet Franc grape. Because this noble grape thrives in the Santa Ynez Valley, we are producing some fantastic examples of it, and while it often plays second fiddle to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc is swiftly becoming one of the hippest and coolest red varietals in California. Come see for yourself what this grape is all about and taste wines from throughout the Santa Ynez Valley. Franc-friendly snacks and appetizers will accompany the evening.
