What an incredible night! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us last Saturday from 7–9 PM for an unforgettable evening of live music with Generations in Jazz right here at Local Vines. 🎷🍷

If you aren’t familiar with them, Generations in Jazz is an incredible Lafayette-based non-profit public benefit organization founded in 1999. They are an absolute pillar of our local community, dedicated to empowering individuals and bringing people together through top-tier jazz music education and live performance. By fostering intergenerational talent and supporting aspiring musicians, they keep the heartbeat of the arts alive and thriving right here in the Lamorinda area.

The energy last weekend was pure magic—and the good news is, you don’t have to wait long to experience it again! We are thrilled to host them for the next two dates in our live music series:

Join Mount Diablo Cider Company, a small family owned and operated Lamorinda cidery specializing in premium small-batch heirloom ciders made in the traditional method, for their 2026 release party at Local Vines in downtown Lafayette.

Starting with a glass of Newtown Pippin to wet the whistle, cider master Thomas Henry will give a quick introduction to traditionally made, low-intervention, naturally fermented cider.

Moving on to a deep dive, and taste, into their Gravenstein Solera program, a dynamic, fractional aging and blending method originally developed in Spain for Sherry. It involves stacking barrels in tiers, where the youngest liquid sits at the top and the oldest (the solera) is at the bottom. As older liquid is removed from the bottom for bottling, the headspace is continuously refilled with progressively younger liquid from the tiers above, creating a consistently uniform and complex final product.

We’ll do this by tasting a bottled first vintage Gravenstein from our 2019 Solera barrel prior to blending. We’ll then move on to our most recent bottled Gravenstein release, 2025 Girl Named Sue (the most recent Gravenstein vintage to be blended with the Solera), followed by the most recent Solera release which contains an aged blend of all Gravenstein vintages from 2019 through 2025, (currently only available to our cider club members).

We will finish the night with a pre-release taste of Narwhal, a take on a traditional English cider comprised of a blend of four different low intervention cider apples naturally co-fermented in French neutral oak barrels and bottled before primary fermentation finishes using the pet-nat method. A Narwhal is a highly sought after, limited, or hard to find cider. In the beer world, such beers are called “whales”. In the wine world, such wines are called “unicorns”.

Join us for this very special presentation on these unique ciders! Tickets are limited, Narwhals are rare
