First planted in the 1880s by Swiss-Italian immigrants, Sorenson Vineyard has been the beating heart of Burgess for more than 150 years.

After the tasting, the duo will be joined by Winemaker Matt Taylor for a casual lunch on the Burgess Veranda, where you’ll enjoy Matt’s fabled Paella and a suite of interesting bottles.
