SUMMARY:Golden Hour Wine Walk - Members Event
DESCRIPTION:Onsite Members Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\nPatron Circle: Complimentary AdmissionSupporter Level Members: $50Member’s Guests: $85Ages 21+ Self guided visit. Guest passes are not accepted. Tickets are non-refundable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRESERVe Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers’ Golden Hour Wine Walk\n\n\n\nVIEW THE GARDEN in the magical light of late afternoon when the botanical colors and textures come alive. Wander at your leisure as you enjoy wine provided by a local winemaker as you bask in the golden hour glow. Our featured winemaker for the evening is Clementine Carter. \n\n\n\nThe chance to stroll the Garden as the sun begins to set is a special opportunity reserved for Lotusland Members and their guests only. Space is limited and reservations are required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClementine Carter\n\n\n\nWe are an ingredient driven business. \n\n\n\nThe landscape dictates our decision making. Nurturing this landscape is the priority\, vintage after vintage. Trust in this environment provides the opportunity to understand the power it holds. It’s pretty potent once you get close. \n\n\n\nSanta Barbara wine country is remarkable. It has captured the imaginations of so many of us who have dedicated every waking moment of our time to understanding its rhythms. The ocean\, the valleys\, the geological shifts. Past\, present and future fused together around every bend\, love and heartbreak possible at any moment. \n\n\n\nUnlocking the treasures this place holds is the motivation to continue this knowingly fleeting endeavor. We only have one opportunity to get it right each year. In a lifetime of trying\, that’s not many breaks\, yet we continue to engage in this magical madness that began 9\,000 years ago across the globe. \n\n\n\nWine is about slowing down\, a wonderful elixir to calm the immediacy of our contemporary needs.Wine is about capturing the radical energy of a place formed millions of years ago.Wine is about exploring what has yet to be accomplished.Wine is about refining was has already been perfected.Wine is about defying the expectation of what has yet to be achieved.
