Thank you for visiting!
We are excited to offer this new adventure in professional networking. No "crack of dawn" breakfasts here - instead join us for socializing and making new business connections while tasting new wines and learning what's hot in the wine world.
Our networking events start with introductions, followed by a tasting led by a winemaker, winery owner or other industry professional and poured with light hors d'oeuvres. We'll conclude with I'll Drink to That's special form of networking: "the wine swap". Experience this unique opportunity to share your wine interests with new friends while making those vital links to potential referrals. Yes, at last - networking can be fun!

Laraneta is
a family owned and operated winery in the Templeton Gap area of the Paso Robles
AVA. Bottling only estate wines, they offer an interesting selection of
varietals from an Italian white to the classic Cabernet Sauvignon. They also
produce olive oils from their estate orchard. Melinda Laraneta will be on
hand to guide us through the dinner, passionately describing each wine and
offering some insights into the Paso Robles winegrowing region.
