List of Vineyard Events
Amangiri Harvest Dinner
On October 9th, we will once again make our way to Amangiri for our annual Harvest Dinner.
This has become one of those evenings we look forward to each year. There is something particularly wonderful about gathering in the desert at harvest time, with interesting people, remarkable food, and a few bottles of wine that have been patiently waiting for the occasion.
The evening will feature a five-course dinner, with each course paired with Sutcliffe wines. It is a chance to enjoy the wines in a beautiful setting, but more importantly, to sit around a table and enjoy the company that makes these dinners so memorable.
Harvest is always a busy time at the vineyard, and perhaps that is part of why these evenings are so appreciated. The work is underway, the grapes are coming in, and there is plenty to celebrate.
We are delighted to return to Amangiri and hope you will join us for another wonderful evening of food, wine, conversation, and a little celebration of the harvest.

Battlerock Charter School Fundraiser
On October 24th, we will once again gather at Sutcliffe Vineyards for the annual Battle Rock Charter School Fall Fundraiser.
Battle Rock is one of those places that means a great deal to our little corner of the world. It is a school built around its community, its families, and its children—and we are always happy to lend a hand when we can.
The evening is a chance to come together, enjoy some wine, good food, and good company, and support the work being done at Battle Rock. The school continues to grow, and with that growth comes the need for all the things that make a small school work.
These fundraisers are always as much about seeing old friends and neighbors as they are about raising money. We hope you’ll join us at the vineyard for an evening in support of Battle Rock and the students, teachers, and families who make it such a special part of our community.
We look forward to seeing you on October 24th. Please email Carrie@sutcliffewines.com for tickets.

Gather around the table for an unhurried evening of seasonal cooking, Colorado wine, and the simple pleasure of sharing a meal together. Each pairing is designed to highlight the character of the food, the wine, and the land that brings them together.
Five courses. Five pairings. One evening at the table.

Q4 Wine Society Pick Up Party
Wine Society Pick-Up Party — November 7
On November 7th, we’ll gather at the vineyard for our fall Wine Society Pick-Up Party.
These afternoons have become some of our favorite gatherings of the year. The wine is ready, the music will be playing, and there will be a fabulous meal waiting for everyone. It’s a good excuse to come out to McElmo Canyon, pick up your wines, and stay awhile.
The party is, of course, for our Wine Society members—but friends, neighbors, and anyone who would like to join us are very welcome. There will be live music, plenty of Sutcliffe wine, a wonderful meal, and, as always, good conversation.
We rather think that is a pretty good way to spend a November afternoon.
Come for the wine. Stay for the music and dinner. We’ll look forward to seeing you.

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.
