The Minimalist’s Table: A Study in Low-Intervention Winemaking
Featuring Deer Hill Vineyards & Winemaker Bill Scanlin
In a world of mass-produced, heavily processed wines, it is easy to lose touch with where the bottle in your hand actually comes from. We invite you to join us at Local Vines for a rare, intimate afternoon of connection and discovery. We are thrilled to host Bill Scanlin, the visionary behind Deer Hill Vineyards, for a masterclass that pulls back the curtain on his "Philosophy of Less."
A Labor of Love, Two Decades in the Making
Deer Hill Vineyards is more than just a winery; it is a family-owned estate nestled right here in Lafayette, California. For over 20 years, this vineyard has been a true labor of love. Bill Scanlin has spent those two decades walking these vines, constantly observing, learning, and refining his craft to capture the soul of the land. His commitment to the Lamorinda American Viticultural Area (AVA) has earned him acclaim in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, but for Bill, it has always been about the simple, authentic joy of sharing a great glass of wine with his neighbors.
Meet the Man Behind the Bottle: This is an opportunity to sit down with Bill and hear his personal story—how he transitioned from a career in tech to becoming a steward of the land.
