Having a wine tasing with food is common, but the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch is pairing is not just food with wine but also a local bonus: flowers.
Starting on Friday March 29 and running every Friday thru mid-May, the Flower Fields will be hosting wine tastings with Advanced Sommelier Lamar Engel of The Wine Milit. The events feature premium wines and food bites, live music and – if all goes according to plan – a sunset over 50 acres of ranunculus flowers in a myriad of colors.
They will take place from 6-8 p.m.
All of the wines are hand selected by a team of sommeliers and highlight celebrated California wine growing regions. Food is from local chefs and will spotlight the nuances of each wine. Select nights will also feature winemakers and winery professionals pouring alongside the Wine Militia team.
Tickets are $115 and available here Sunset Wine Tasting and Music Tickets,
