Participants will enjoy tasting the delicious wines offered at Adelphos Cellars while learning about how to pair cheese and wine, said Cory Edwards, AgriLife Extension agent for Lubbock County, Lubbock. There will also be tours of the Cerro Santo estate vineyard and light refreshments provided during the event.
Texas wines, talks from top viticulturists and winery owner featured
Edwards said the vineyard is a beautifully terraced 40-acre plot near the former Quaker-settled community of Estacado.
“This will be a fun night at the beautiful and historical Adelphos Cellars,” she said. “They have a beautiful view and vineyard, and participants will truly enjoy hearing about the legacy that this group of family and friends is creating.”
The event will feature speakers Jim Irwin, co-owner at Adelphos Cellars; Garrett Irwin, vineyard manager of the Cerro Santo estate vineyard in Estacado; and Daniel Hillin, AgriLife Extension viticulturist for the High Plains and West Texas, Lubbock.
“We want to share relevant and factual information to connect Texas wine industry agricultural to the end wine product for consumers,” Edwards said. “Our goal is for participants to leave with a broader knowledge of viticulture and winemaking.”
