The complete schedule for Culmina’s Fifth Anniversary Weekend Celebration includes:
– A special edition of Culmina’s ‘Open Deck’ event series on Friday, September 14 from 5 to 8 p.m., featuring R&D by Culmina wines paired with small bites and a special guest DJ playing an all-vinyl set, all ‘served’ in the Tasting Room overlooking the winery’s picturesque vineyards;
