Spring Fête: Sparkling Malbec Rosé release

Join us at Michael Shaps Winery for our Spring Fête: Sparkling Release Party—an afternoon dedicated to the debut of our 2024 Sparkling Malbec Rosé.

Set against the backdrop of the vineyard in spring, guests will enjoy live jazz-funk fusion from Staunton’s own The Norms, bringing a vibrant, laid-back energy to the afternoon. Crozet Seafood Supply will be on site serving lobster rolls and a selection of fresh seafood favorites, perfectly paired with a glass (or two) of bubbles.

Whether you’re settling in with friends, discovering a new favorite wine, or simply enjoying the season, this is an easy, celebratory way to welcome spring at the winery.

No reservations needed!

Rosé All day

Rosé All Day Sunday, June 28 · 

Four rosés, fresh seafood, and live jazz funk — the best way to spend a Sunday in June.

We’re pouring an exclusive flight featuring our 2022 Virginia Rosé, 2023 French Rosé, 2024 Sparkling Malbec, and — for one day only — a preview of our yet-to-be-released 2024 Rosé before it hits shelves. This is your first taste.

Crozet Seafood Supply joins us on the patio with crab cakes, lobster rolls, and more. The Norms bring the energy with an afternoon set of jazz funk to keep the vibe exactly right.
