The Rutherford Dust Society proudly presents the return of Cabernet By The Bay—a celebration of Rutherford wines, Napa Valley history, and coastal California culture. This signature tasting event invites guests to sip from acclaimed Rutherford wineries while enjoying waterfront views, coastal bites and smooth Yacht Rock sounds on historic Mare Island.
Introducing a new feature in 2025, The Captain's Table offers an exclusive VIP hour from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. This unique experience, reserved for a select few, includes early access tastings, elevated pairings and a private historical talk on Mare Island's role in the early California wine trade.
Guests are encouraged to dress in nautical-chic attire. A $5 donation earns attendees a Captain's Hat, symbolizing their support for the Society's nonprofit mission. This seemingly small contribution goes a long way in helping us preserve the Rutherford legacy - making you a significant part of our cause.
At its core, the Rutherford Dust Society's mission is more than just winemaking—it's about preserving a legacy. Every vine we tend and every glass we pour reflects our commitment to protecting the land, elevating our craft, and strengthening the fabric of our community. It's a mission that inspires us every day.
By upholding the highest standards in viticulture and sustainability, we ensure that Rutherford's unique voice—its terroir, people, and stories—continues to resonate for generations. From mentoring young growers to hosting events that bring our region together, we're not just making wine but building something lasting together.
As a special treat, guests will have the thrilling opportunity to enter and win a yacht ride for two! This experience promises excitement and luxury.
Join us for a chance to win a luxurious yacht ride for two on the bay — available on select dates chosen by the winner.
