VINOPOP: AAF OC Member-Only Event!

ABOUT

“CALIFORNIA NEEDS MORE OF THESE WINES IN THE MARKETPLACE” -Robert Parker

VINOPOP is bringing the tasting room experience exclusively for members of AAF Orange County! 

Winemaker Mac Myers has been meticulously crafting wines for 20 years. These beautiful, balanced, terroir driven wines have been praised by the press, consistently awarded big scores from all the critics and most importantly loved by wine geeks! His first vintage was in 2002 in a small cooperative with just a half-ton of grapes. From that humble beginning Mac moved the winery to the current site nestled on 84 acres (!) amidst the rolling hills of the Adelaida District, Paso Robles including a brand new hospitality & tasting facility that opened in 2023.

VINOPOP is bringing down Liz Gillingham (Dir of Brand and all around wine-educator) of McPrice Myers to take AAF OC through a journey 

of 5 of their award-winning, low production wines.
