We Celebrated Mother's Day at Aubrey Vineyards!

Aubrey Vineyards had everything you needed for a perfect Mother's Day celebration. Guests brought the whole family out to enjoy wonderful food from the Holy Brunch KC food truck from 11:30am-2:30pm. From noon-3pm, there was a FREE photo opportunity for your group conducted by Cody Carpenter Photography, as well as a live musical performance from Erica McKenzie! 

Valentine's Day Weekend Experience

 

Guests visited the Vineyard Tasting Room on February 10th, 11th or the 12th and enjoyed a special Valentine’s Weekend pairing experience with both the new 2021 Select Series Rosé of Crimson Cabernet and a dark chocolate mousse cup with whipped cream and strawberries.  And, on Saturday February 11th, from 4pm to 6pm, the Tasting Room featured live, light jazz instrumentals performed by FM Duo.

The Aubrey Vineyards Select Series showcases the winemaker’s exploration into producing special wines in limited quantities or with unique characteristics.  The 2021 Crimson Cabernet harvest proved to be the most bountiful since the vineyard planting nearly a decade earlier.  This excess fruit provided the opportunity to explore a rosé-format wine.  The Rosé of Crimson Cabernet was the result of immediately pressing a small batch of freshly harvested grapes and allowing for very little time for the juice to be in contact with the skins.  The luscious creamy melon notes, mild acidity and hints of rose petal aromas make this rosé wine a wonderful addition to the AV Select Series.

The Valentine’s Weekend pairing included a glass of the new 2021 Rosé of Crimson Cabernet (or any wine of your choice) and a dark chocolate mousse cup with whipped cream and strawberries.  This pairing is $16 and was available Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 10th through the 12th.  Reservations were recommended as quantities were limited.

Join AV for a Script Reading Experience!

Our wonderful guests joined AV on Wednesday, February 15th from 6-8pm, for a fun and experimental Script Reading Experience – with wine!  We put together a group of fantastic professional actors, including AV’s own Drew Starlin, to share a script reading with all Tasting Room guests.  A script reading was like WATCHING an audiobook or radio play – except it’s LIVE!  There were no sets and the stage directions are read by a ‘narrator’ for context.

This play was about a man, Jonathan, who visits LA for an audition and brings his wife, Jenifer, along for support.  While the couple is staying there with an old friend, Michael, drama unfolds in both Jonathan and Jenifer’s life at home as well as Michael’s personal and professional life.  While these story lines push the topics of self-doubt and one’s need for support, the script weaves in definite humor and moments of levity.  Please note, the play does contain adult language.

Reservations were not required and there was no cost to attend.  AND…It’s Wine Wednesday – enjoy ½ price wine by the glass all day!
