Join
us outdoors on Vista's 21 acre ranch for a walking beer & wine
pairing event featuring Vista's new Oenobeer Series and Texas wines. Get
outside for a walking exploration of Vista's new Oenobeer Series, a set
of three barrel aged wine-beer hybrid ales featuring fresh Texas-grown
grape juice from William Chris Vineyards and Lewis Wines. These limited
release beers are truly unique Texas products over two years in the
making!
Reservation and ticket required.
The
progressive walking experience will take you around Vista's 21-acre
Hill Country property enjoying samples of the three oenobeers paired
with farm-to-table small plates from Vista's onsite restaurant. Talk
with Vista's team of Cicerone Certified Beer Servers about the barrel
aging process and flavor profiles of each beer.
You
will also enjoy pours of each of the corresponding wine varietals used
in the oenobeer-making process: William Chris Picpoul Blanc, William
Chris Roussanne and Lewis Wines Cabernet Sauvignon.
Also
included in your ticket is enjoyment of Vista's Live Music Under the
Oaks Sunday afternoon music series from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. We invite you
to stay after dark to enjoy the Driftwood Lights holiday walking trail
of lights.
These
beers are only sold as a set of three ($45, 3 x 500ml bottles). Save
$5 by adding bottles here in Eventbrite to take home on the day of the
