This year's Wine Tour will be a memorial to Gerhard Fehrmann. Gerhard hosted our Wine Tour for five years. He unexpectedly passing away in July, but he had already finished planning this year's tour. As has every BMW CCA Winemeisters before him, Gerhard took what was already in place and added his own special touch to things. We will miss him greatly.
If you've never been on a BMW CCA Los Angeles Chapter Wine Tour, here's what you are signing up for: (If you have been on a recent LA Chapter Wine Tour you already know what a great deal this is, so just go straight to the registration form.)
There are many great wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Rita Valleys and there isn't time in one weekend to visit them all. Gerhard had chosen a variety that will give you a taste of what the valleys have to offer. There will be some old favorites and some new wineries to enjoy.
Meals include a family style Italian lunch on Saturday, dinner at the Firestone Walker brewery, and Sunday BBQ at a winery.
Reservations must be made by mid-September as the hotel will release the unused rooms in mid-September.
You may invite non-BMW CCA members to join you, just give them the link and have them sign up. They will be impressed with the club and join the BMW CCA before the weekend is over.
