Exploration of Pinot Noir: Master Class with Wineamaker Andy Peay

The Peay vineyards are located along the remote, wind-swept ridgelines of the far Sonoma Coast, one of California’s most extreme and compelling Pinot Noir growing regions. Defined by cool Pacific fog, high elevation, and dramatic diurnal shifts, these sites produce wines of remarkable tension, elegance, and longevity—Pinot Noir shaped as much by place as by precision.

During this guided tasting of five wines, Andy Peay will lead guests through vineyard philosophy, site expression, vintage variation, and winemaking decisions, offering rare insight into how these challenging coastal conditions translate into structure, freshness, and nuance in the glass.

Designed for both passionate enthusiasts and seasoned collectors, this master class offers direct access to the winemaker in an intimate, conversational setting—an uncommon opportunity to explore Pinot Noir at its most refined and expressive.
