I’m really excited to announce several ways to join us in May for special tastings and dinners. It has become a very busy month.
Our guest next month will be energetic and informative Adrien Gautherin from Domaine Raoul Gautherin in Chablis. Since we began working with him about 3 years ago, his racy, delicious white burgundies have quickly become fan favorites among the Caveau Selections faithful. Adrien will be joining us for just two days in May, we’ve started to pack out his schedule, and would love to have you join us to meet him as many times as you’d like!
But, there’s more. We have 4 other events staring Saturday May 2nd running through Saturday May 9th

The Wine & Dine is an event like no other. This sophisticated but decidedly un-stuffy affair encourages attendees to interact with our chefs and wine-makers up close. Each chef will share their signature recipes and winery representatives will regale you with the tasting notes and viticulture details of their wines allowing you to walk away feeling like a sommelier.

We’re proud to feature Royer Vineyard, a local Oregon winery from the Eola-Amity Hills known for their beautifully crafted Chardonnay and Riesling. Built on a philosophy of growing exceptional white grapes with patience and intention, Royer wines reflect the character of the land—elegant, balanced, and quietly unforgettable.
