Chile and Argentina share the Andes Mountain range and produce some of the most affordable wines in the world. A large percentage of these countries' population originated in Italy and Spain, bringing amazing grapes and wine making skills with them. The mountains bring unlimited sunshine and limited rainfall to make incredible wines. Attendees will explore two white wines (Torrontes and Viognier) and three red wines (Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, and of course, Malbec).

Come and listen to the history of the Jim Smith farm known as Smithonia, which was built in the late 1870's. Attendees will tour the Robertson house and will study a large map that tells part of the story of the Civil War and Reconstruction in this area. You will also tour and learn of the restoration of our red brick barn, built in 1905, which was the commissary for the farm.
