 Description: The Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake, California is a return to a simpler time. This handsome country hotel, built in the 1890's, was completely restored and expanded to a 17-room luxury facility between 2004 and 2006. The historic hotel received one of seven statewide historic preservation awards in 2007 from the California Heritage Council and, in July 2008, it was officially listed on the California Register of Historic Resources as a Point of Historical Interest. The interiors of the hotel are inspired by the natural setting of Lake County. Antique and custom crafted furniture, hand painted murals and artwork depicting flora and fauna create simple yet sophisticated surroundings. Eastlake style furniture decorates the guestrooms. The authentic look and feel of the hotel transports patrons back in time -- but geo-exchange heating and cooling systems, solar panels on the roof and modern facilities all produce a comfortable, state-of-the-art, eco-friendly environment. The hotel is the first location in its county to feature an electric vehicle charging station.

Orientation/Presentation: From Vine to Glass/Presentation: Scenic Lake County

Afternoon: Registration at 4:00 PM followed by a champagne reception and program orientation in the hotel parlor at 5:00 PM.

Dinner: Dine at our lovely historic hotel with your fellow wine enthusiasts!

Evening: Just north of Napa lies California's Lake County. Our study of the intriguing story of wine from growth and production to corking and tasting begins this evening as we are joined by program leader and acclaimed winemaker Matt Hughes and hotel owner Bernie Butcher.

After dinner, Matt will provide an introduction to the week and an overview of Lake County as a wine making region. The wines of Lake County were well known prior to Prohibition, outnumbering those of Napa. During Prohibition the abundant and fruitful vineyards were replaced with pear and walnut orchards. Learn how Lake County, with its unique climate, soils and elevation, combined with the spirit of passionate growers and winemakers, is re-emerging as a major wine growing region. One hundred acres of vineyards in 1965 have blossomed to 8,800 today, now boasting over 30 commercial wineries.

Later this evening, Bernie Butcher will give an overview of the history of this scenic area. As owner of the charming and historic Tallman Hotel, built in the 1890’s, he will discuss the restoration of this gem amongst country hotels.

Day Two: Monday, October 07 - Pristine Wine Country/Lecture: Viticulture and Appellations of Lake... 
Pristine Wine Country/Lecture: Viticulture and Appellations of Lake County/Lectures & Visit to Shannon Ridge Ranch & Tasting at Shannon Ridge Winery and Ceago Vinegarden

Breakfast: Continental breakfast at the hotel

Morning: A wine enthusiast’s adventure awaits you as we begin our studies today! Lake County in its pristine beauty takes you back to the roots of wine making! Lake County provides the clarity of experience of “California wine country as it used to be,” refreshingly free from the commercialism of other more well-known wine locales.

Although just geographically north of famous Napa, Lake County is a dramatic step back in time. Here you find the pristine natural beauty of mountainous terrain dotted with vineyards, the cleanest air in California, and the beauty of the largest lake within California state boundaries. Here you are captivated by the spirit of the vineyard owners and winemakers who delight to share their passion, their stories and their insights with you on a personal basis.

Led by Matt Hughes, our study leader and a well-known local winemaker, begin with a study of “Viticulture and the Differing Appellations of Lake County.” Accompanying Matt is Peter Molnar, partner in Obsidian Ridge Vineyards and Chairman of the Lake County Winegrape Commission. Learn about the natural elements that create the best wine growing areas as we set the foundation for our upcoming experiences. Lake County is unique in its diversity, with wine grapes grown from lake level at 1400 feet to elevations over 3000 feet and from highly volcanic soils to the rich loam of the old lake bed.

Lake County Wineries website: www.lakecountywineries.org/



Lunch: At the hotel

Afternoon: Depart for Shannon Ridge Ranch above the town of Clearlake Oaks to see an example of grapes grown at high elevations and in volcanic soils. Guided by our expert, learn how light quality, elevation and swings in temperature provide unique conditions for wine production, bringing about an intensity and yet balance to area wines, distinct in their individuality. Then sample and savor Shannon Ridge’s wines at their tasting room in Clearlake Oaks.

Travel to Ceago Vinegarden, a majestic biodynamic Farm. Touted by Sunset Magazine and New York Times articles, explore this beautiful lakefront facility. From the vantage point of its beautiful Spanish-style hacienda, capture the unspoiled vistas of vineyards, valleys and mountains. Learn about their proactive approach to farming that looks at the individuality of each property and adds back with natural plant and animal life to emulate nature and create a self-sustainable environment. Savor some of their unique blends.

Evening: Get to know your fellow enthusiasts relaxing over dinner, or go next door to the Blue Wing Saloon and Café to tap your toes to a local Blues Band, a regular Monday night event.
