About our WINEMAKER SERIES:
In the wine world, winemakers are akin to rock stars. They are the men and women "behind the curtain";their artistry and craftsmanship passed on from generation to generation, ultimately making their way from all over the globe into our wine glasses, providing us with endless pleasure and contemplation. Chelsea Wine Vault has become a ‘winemaker’ destination. Join us in these cold winter months for our on-going winemaker series and experience premier wines and the men and women who create them…Don’t miss these once in a lifetime opportunities!
