Fesstivity has kept us busy in the cellar this week! 🍾🥂

We’re at the tirage stage of the traditional Méthode Champenoise process, where the wine is bottled with a small amount of yeast and sugar, then sealed with a temporary cap. As the yeast consumes the sugar, it creates the bubbles naturally inside the bottle. The wine is then aged for an extended period.

Today we bottled our Fesstivity Magnums, which gets extended time in tirage!

Join us for an afternoon celebrating three iconic Santa Barbara County wineries—Fess Parker, Bien Nacido, and Melville—at a special Comparative Tasting Experience on Saturday, August 15th from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM in the Fess Parker Winery barrel room.

This tasting event brings together the voices and wines from three of the region’s most respected producers for an in-depth exploration of vineyard expression, winemaking philosophy, and varietal character.

Guests will enjoy four comparative flights featuring Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and a special “Wild Card” selection. Leading the conversation will be Winemakers Blair Fox, Chad Melville and Anthony Avila with Fess Parker Winery President,  Tim Snider moderating an engaging panel discussion. Together, they’ll share insights into the vineyards, vintages, and decisions that shape each wine —offering a rare opportunity to taste side-by-side with the people behind the wines.

Each attendee will receive an individually prepared grazing box from Slate Catering to enjoy with the tasting.
