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!
