This is Locals Only 3.0 – 2018

No fancy marketing campaigns or graphic trickery.  Just an opportunity to taste clean honest products from the producers who are defining our cool climate coastal appellation. 

• Speak with the producers who were natural before it was fashionable
• Learn more about distilling while speaking with a Master
• Meet and taste with the people who planted the vines and then made the wine

Locals Only is about keeping it real, real honest and really local.

Organic estate farming , clean winemaking , neutral barrels & vessels, amphora, orange wines, concrete, spontaneous ferments, dry farming + way more. Discover the next destination you just have to check out.
