Mastering Magnificat

The Art of the Blend
Some of the finest wines are composed of varietal blends. Learn the magic that our winemakers use to create Magnificat, our proprietary blend that each year is the highest expression of our vineyards and vintage. In this hands-on seminar you'll play winemaker, creating your own blend with five classic Bordeaux varietals. The question is, what will you call your wine? (11:00, 12:30, 2:00 - by appt.)

Sensory Evaluation
Did you know, taste is nearly entirely controlled by sense of smell? In this in-depth sensory seminar you'll taste a variety of Franciscan wines and evaluate aromas of each one, such as citrus, fruits and spices. Your host will guide you through the experience of tasting wines like a professional and identifying each wine's signature aromas. (11:00, 12:30, 2:00 - by appt.)

Your host will provide a historical perspective of Franciscan Winery, discuss wine growing techniques used in our Clos Vineyard and give you the chance to check the vines and see how things are coming along.
