Red Wine & Chocolate Celebration

Join us for this valley-wide celebration. This year, we're offering a very special experience for Premier Pass holders: A designated wine tasting area, complimentary samples of terrific wines (including library samples of our popular red blend, Ruah) and special bites from Mojave at Desert Wind, including a Chocolate-Cherry Tomato Pop, Chocolate Tomato Bisque, and Chocolate Dipped Bacon. (Non-passholders are invited for regular wine tasting with small food samples in our tasting room for a $10 tasting fee.) Mojave at Desert Wind will be serving lunch both days, and Saturday night will feature a five-course Death by Chocolate wine dinner (details below).
