Private Wine Series

John Alban, of Alban Vineyards- the first American winery and vineyard established exclusively for Rhone varieties, has devoted his life to showcasing producers from around the world who exemplify his belief that wine is about pleasure, not pedigree.  At Raked Ranch, he and his crew are teaming up with winemakers from near and far to host intimate, unique, and exclusive tastings that will broaden the understanding and appreciation for how extraordinary wines are created.  The isolated and pristine setting of the Barn at Raked Ranch at the foot of Seymour’s Vineyard is idyllic for exploring and enjoying these delicious adventures.

The world of wine and food is full of fantastic characters.  We created The Barn at Raked Ranch to share them with you.
