Enjoy a Holiday Wine Event at The Cave in Ventura
November 12, 2017 @ 2:00 am PST
Get ready for the holidays with an afternoon of tastes and treats.
Start the celebrations early with a Holiday Wine Tasting event on Sunday, November 12, from 2-4pm, at The Cave in Ventura. This festive, fun afternoon gives guests the opportunity to stroll around and sample more than 100 wines from over 20 premier wineries. Attendees will also enjoy live music from the Vanise Terry Band, chatting with winemakers and industry greats, a photo booth, and decadent bites from The Cave’s award-winning Executive Chef, Alex Montoya.
Wineries attending include Clos des Amis, Rombauer Vineyards, Hall, and The Ojai Vineyard, as well as many others. They will be pouring a varied selection of their offerings, ranging from palate-pleasers suitable for serving on any occasion to more exclusive tastings of special reserves.
Showcasing his culinary excellence, Chef Alex has created a small bites menu designed to pair with the tastings ranging from passed appetizers to samplings of his delightful pizzas and pastas.
Guests will receive a keepsake wine glass for the tastings, and enjoy access to special offers from The Cave, including a “Buy More, Get More” promotion that rewards purchases at the event with credit toward wining and dining at The Cave restaurant, and custom-created Cave Boxes, The Cave’s new wine-delivery club.
The Holiday Tasting Event is open to guests ages 21 and up. Tickets are now on sale for $45 through November 11, and also be bought at the door on the day of the event for $50. Advance purchase is recommended to secure tickets before the event sells out. Tickets can be purchased in person at The Cave, or by calling 805-642-9449. Due to the nature of this wine-oriented walk-around event and space, infants and attendees younger than 21 will not be permitted.

About The Cave Ventura
A restaurant and wine bar hidden inside the Ventura Wine Company retail shop, The Cave has been pleasing palates for over 9 years with its ever-changing farm-to-table menu and wine offerings available by the ounce, the glass, and even by the bottle. Family-owned and operated since its beginning, The Cave was originally created by Nick Fisher, local wine expert, to bridge the gap between the casual wine drinker and the connoisseur, offering a rotating menu of gourmet dishes to pair with over 40 wines available in their easy-access enomatic machines. Diners can explore and learn about wines from different regions and wineries, creating custom tastings, or they can enjoy pairing guidance from well-trained staff. The attached retail store, The Ventura Wine Company, has an inventory of over 1500 wines, which guests can also choose to accompany their food (for a nominal corkage fee). The Cave is currently run by Nick’s daughter, Nicole Valdivia, who just opened the Barrel Room, a private space in the restaurant that can be reserved for large groups, private parties, meetings, or events.
Whether dining at The Cave or shopping at the Ventura Wine Company, customers will enjoy an approachable, top level experience that accompanies years of expertise, knowledge, and appreciation for bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and premium offerings. The Cave and the Ventura Wine Company are located at 4435 McGrath St. Suite 301 in Ventura, CA. In addition to the retail store and restaurant, they also offer a monthly wine club subscription box, called My Cave Box, which is delivered to customers both in and out of the area. My Cave Box offers a custom-created assortment of wines and lifestyle items suited to the recipient’s taste and needs, and can be found at mycavebox.com.
