A carefully prepared dinner in their setting paired with Sutcliffe wines, courses to celebrate the season and enduring friendship.
We do hope you will join us.
For reservations, please call 719-657-9031
Vault 730 Wine and Cheese Pairing
On June 24th at 5:30pm we are delighted to welcome Diana and Vault 730 from Del Norte back to the vineyard for what will now be their third visit to Sutcliffe — and happily, each gathering seems somehow better than the last.
Diana has an extraordinary knowledge of cheese and an infectious enthusiasm for it. The first time we tasted with her in Del Norte, it felt rather as though we had wandered into a small European shop somewhere in the countryside — beautiful cheeses, thoughtful pairings, and the sort of experience that reminds you how civilized life can occasionally be.
For this special summer evening, Diana will guide us through a carefully selected tasting of exceptional cheeses paired alongside Sutcliffe wines, with additional bites prepared to accompany the evening.
The cost is $80 per person plus tax and gratuity.
One of the great pleasures of vineyards is the opportunity to gather around a table with friends, wine, and food that has been chosen with care. This promises to be precisely that sort of evening.
We very much hope you will join us. To book, click the link below.

Garden Party - 31st Anniversary Party
June in McElmo Canyon is usually glorious and, with a bit of luck, the weather remembers its manners. On June 6th we shall celebrate the 31st anniversary of planting the vineyard’s first two acres — a small and rather hopeful beginning that somehow turned into all of this.
Our annual Garden Party remains one of the loveliest afternoons of the year. Nathan Schmidt will be playing music beneath the trees, there shall be delicious food, generous wine specials, and the sort of conversation and laughter that tends to drift long into the evening.
Festivities begin at 1:00pm, though experience suggests very few people ever leave at the appointed hour.
One small instruction: dress beautifully. Linen, sundresses, splendid hats, light jackets — all the things suited to a proper vineyard garden party. The afternoon is invariably more charming when everyone makes a bit of an effort.
And do bring friends. Vineyards, after all, were never meant to be enjoyed alone.
