More than Eggs Benedict Brunch
August 16th, 2026
Long before the Sta. Rita Hills was created as an AVA (2001), the Sanford & Benedict vineyard was planted (1971). The first vineyard in what was to become a world-class region for cool-climate grapes due to the vision of Richard Sanford and Michael Benedict. On this 25th anniversary of the Sta. Rita Hills, we ask you to join us at “More than Just Eggs Benedit” – a brunch to celebrate Michael in a vineyard which he planted.
