Four April events, four communities, and the beginning of Wine & Barrel Co. in the glass.
April marks the start of our public season, and this year it carries a different kind of weight. It’s the first time we’re bringing Wine & Barrel Co. out into the world in a meaningful way — four events, four communities, and countless conversations that will shape how people experience our wines.
There’s something grounding about pouring for guests face‑to‑face: the reactions, the questions, and the quiet pause that happens when a wine lands just right. This month is about showing up, learning, and letting the wines speak for themselves.
Willow Glen Spring Wine Walk – April 18, 2026
We begin in Willow Glen, a neighborhood that feels like a small town tucked into the city. The Spring Wine Walk brings out a thoughtful, easygoing crowd — people who take their time, ask good questions, and genuinely want to understand what makes a small producer tick. It is the perfect setting to share our story and introduce our spring lineup.
Downtown Campbell Wine Walk – April 23, 2026
A few days later, we head to Campbell. Emanuel will be pouring at this event, bringing not just the wines but the behind-the-scenes perspective that people naturally gravitate toward. The Campbell Wine Walk draws a curious, engaged audience — guests who want to talk vineyard sourcing, barrel choices, and what is coming next. It is one of the most energizing stops on our spring calendar.
Wine Down on False River – April 25, 2026
We’re heading to New Roads, Louisiana, for Wine Down on False River, a warm, waterfront festival known for its Southern hospitality and easygoing energy. It’s our first time pouring here, and we’re excited to share our wines with a new community and connect with guests discovering us for the first time. Moments like this continue to shape the story we’re building, from Napa to Louisiana, growing with every place we show up.
Los Gatos Spring Wine Walk – April 25, 2026
We close out the month in Los Gatos, a lively, weekend-ready event that feels like a celebration of the season. It is our first time pouring here, and we are excited to meet a new community and share the wines with guests who may be discovering us for the first time. There is a sense of momentum building, with each event adding another layer to the story we are telling.
April is more than a series of dates on the calendar. It is the beginning of seeing the wines where they belong — in the glass, around conversation, and among people who make the experience meaningful.
