Due to the popularity of this event, reservations are highly recommended.
Syrah was one of the two grape varieties that Crystal Basin was founded to showcase.
Grown at higher altitudes, Syrah gains a rugged, meaty fruitiness and loses the higher tannins that its often known for.
Our Syrah is a fruit-forward expression of sun and soil.
El Dorado fruit brings on a rich blackberry and peppery aspect that is intriguing like wearing shiny leather pants.
We hope you’ll enjoy some of our Syrah soon!
Ahh – Oysters. Fresh Oysters tasting faintly of the sea. Slurped raw or bbq’d with garlic butter.
And Wine. Lovely fresh and enjoy a brisk afternoon in the Foothills.
And then, the combination of the two. Yeah now!
We call this yearly seafood feast our Oysterfest and we’ve hosted it for over 13 years now.
It’s a springtime chance to gather, enjoy some of the freshest oysters, sip a newly introduced white wine and tap your foot to some bluegrass music. Who’s in?
This event has been a bit nutty in the past. It makes it fun – but….
This year, we are asking for folks to pre-purchase their oysters. It helps us plan and helps us keep the cost of the oysters down for our customers.
You don’t have to pre-order, but oysters at the event will be $2.00 each – with a minimum of ten. Oysters purchased ahead of time are 33% cheaper!
This is our winery’s birthday celebration as well, so expect some razzle-dazzle to go with your day!
Cheers to All!
