Bien Nacido Vineyard, planted in 1973 by brothers Bob and Steve Miller, is one of California’s most iconic vineyard sites, long praised for producing exceptional wines that epitomize the distinct characteristics of the Santa Maria Valley AVA. Looking to honor this heritage, the Miller family teamed with Tensley to create optik, designed to showcase a fresh take on Bien Nacido Vineyard.
Guests at home will be able to hear music from local bands and DJ Hecktik while sipping the contents of their beer boxes.
Tickets are $70 for California residents and $80 for residents of either Nevada, Oregon, Washington or Arizona the only four states to which the festival can ship. Each box will contain a souvenir glass and swag from alcohol companies and various sponsors.
Ticket holders will receive a link to log in and watch the live event. Tickets are limited. For more information, call or email the Buellton Chamber of Commerce at 805.688.7829 or [email protected].
