Franc & Blanc Fest: Two New Releases, One Great Party

May 26, 2026

Some events call for a glass raised. This one calls for two.

On Saturday, May 30, we’re throwing open the gates at Little Vineyards in Glen Ellen for Franc & Blanc Fest, a release party and Wine Club Appreciation celebration rolled into one afternoon. It runs from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, and we want you there.

Meet the Wines (Fresh from the Judges’ Table)

Before these bottles even reach your glass at Franc & Blanc Fest, they’ve already earned recognition.

  • 2023 Cabernet Franc — Gold Medal, 92 points
  • 2025 Sauvignon Blanc — Bronze Medal, 84 points

The Cabernet Franc is a limited estate-grown release, and May 30th is your first opportunity to taste it. The Sauvignon Blanc arrives just in time for Sonoma Valley summer.

What’s Included

Your ticket covers a first tasting of both new releases, a selection of Little bites, and an afternoon of live music. A Little Petty Tribute band will be performing. As always, music is part of what makes Little Vineyards, Little Vineyards.

Rockin’ attire encouraged.

Tickets

This is a 21+ event.
