Cabernet Sauvignon Library Winemaker Tasting in Santa Ynez

Brander Winery & Vineyard — 2401 North Refugio Rd., Santa Ynez  |  (805) 688-2455

Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025
12 pm

Celebrate 50 years of Brander Vineyard with a rare, one-time-only Cabernet Sauvignon Library Tasting. For this special occasion, we’re opening Fred Brander’s private library to share wines that are otherwise unavailable — bottles carefully pulled from both our cellar and Fred’s personal collection. These Cabernets tell the story of Brander through the decades, shaped by some of the oldest Cabernet vines in Santa Barbara County. The tasting will be hosted by Fred Brander and longtime winemaker Fabian Bravo, who will guide you through an intimate and educational look at the history and evolution of our Cabernet Sauvignon and reserve bottlings.
