Karlo Estates Winery - Gold Medal Tastings
Indulge in our ultimate wine tastings experience for you and up to 13 of your best wine loving friends.
How does it work?
The Gold Medal Tasting is $388.00 plus tax and tip for up to 4 people.
This include an estate tour conducted by Saxe Brickenden, Partner, or Sherry Karlo, Vintner, while sampling 9 wines and enjoying a dairy free cheese and plant-based charcuterie board on the Vintner’s Deck or in our VIP Wine Lounge (weather dependent).
We start out with our Gold Medal winning 2020 Bubble as our reception wine to walk through our 1805 post and beam hip barn, then tour down through the vineyards to our famous dry stone bridge, one of the largest in North America. Here we enjoy our traveler pack of whites then we bribe you with our best selling Patio Reserve Rosé to stand on the bridge as a group for a photo op. After some time for photos, we retire to the Vintner’s Deck (or Wine Lounge) to enjoy dairy-free cheese and plant-based charcuterie while sampling the portfolio of reds. Afterwards we’ll go back up to the winery to consult for you on your wine purchase while we enjoy a final tasting of our port style wines. Each person who buys 11 bottles of wines will then be given a free bottle.
We require payment upfront. If for some reason you can not attend and cancel your reservation within 24 hours of your tour, you can redeem the equivalent value in wine bottle purchases. If you cancel before 24 hours before the tour, we can offer you a full refund - a $10 per head administration fee. Like other special events, you’ll not need to worry about adding gratuity as 18% will automatically be included on your final bill.
To book, we require your credit card number and your cell phone number to reach you on the day. You can increase your reservation up to a group of 14 up to 48 hours before the tour. Each additional guest is $97.00
Your reservation is not complete until you receive a confirmation email from us. Please do not make a reservation by phone on Fridays or Saturdays as we will be in service.
Plan to be with us for about two hours. This tour is not available on Saturdays. It can be booked weekdays and Sundays at 12:00 noon or at 5:00 pm. Do try to make reservations at least two weeks in advance for best ease of finding a mutually agreeable time in Saxe and Sherry’s schedule.
“We look forward to pouring for you.”

Once we come out of lockdown, we will post what size of groups we can accept. We will keep groups at separate tables, socially distanced six feet apart. As you can appreciate, we have fewer seats available after this second wave COVID tightening.
To save time on the check-in and to get your group into the fun without delay, please be prepared to hand our host the list of first and last names, email and cell phone number for each of your guests upon arrival.
