Join award-winning winemaker Ana Diogo-Draper for a deep dive into the Iberian grapes that inspire her craft. Born in Portugal and trained in both Europe and California, Ana brings a hands-off, terroir-driven approach to bold, fruit-forward wines. She will share the story of Tempranillo and Touriga Nacional—from their historic roots on the Iberian Peninsula to their vibrant expression in California’s Sierra Foothills and Sonoma. Guests will taste through a curated flight, including:

2022 Tempranillo Reserva

2022 Covey Hill Tempranillo

2023 Amador County Tempranillo

2023 Amador County Touriga Nacional/Tempranillo blend

Along the way, Ana will discuss vineyard sourcing, AVA characteristics, and the intuitive techniques that earned her a Gold Medal at the 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards. Discover why this celebrated Naked Wines winemaker calls California home—and why these classic Portuguese varieties are capturing the hearts of wine lovers everywhere... Expect big flavors, insider vineyard stories, and the chance to learn directly from a trailblazing winemaker shaping the future of wine on both sides of the Atlantic!
