Mystery. Adventure. Discovery.

THE ELEMENTS

Explore the rich history of the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—that have shaped our understanding of wine from the days of ancient alchemy to modern viticulture. These elements continue to influence terroir, defining the character of our favorite wines through unique soils, climatic conditions, and grape varietals. In 2025, we invite you to join us on a journey to uncover how these primal forces impact the wines we love, from the earthiness of specific soils to the crisp freshness imparted by coastal breezes. Together, we’ll discover why these elements not only enhance our wines but also deepen our appreciation for every sip!

Let’s dig into what makes wine earthy—the soil! Whether schist, granite, clay, or limestone, different soils uniquely shape wine character. Join us in exploring how the earth under our feet transforms into flavors in the glass.

Beyond just nourishing vines, water shapes wines in powerful ways! With maritime climates, moderate temperatures and longer growing seasons allow grapes to develop ideal sugar levels and ripeness.
