Join in on a true wine country evening on the Southside at Moonbase Estate Vineyard, where two of the Walla Walla Valley’s favorite producers pair up for a relaxed dinner among the vines. Toby Turlay and Chris Dukelow of Ducleaux Cellars, winemaker spouses known for estate Rhône-inspired wines and having fun making them, are joining forces with Drew and Laine Pauk of Moonbase, who followed a passion for wine (and maybe the stars) from Missouri to the Walla Walla Valley, building a life, a label, and a vineyard rooted in this place.
Expect BBQ from Smokin Bandits, wines from both producers poured by the people who made them, and a night full of good conversation, shared stories, and seriously great juice. No dress code. No itinerary. Just vines, good people, and a sky full of stars.
Complimentary round-trip transportation is available from The Marcus Whitman Hotel, The Finch, and Courtyard by Marriott.
