VENUE:: CAMPOVIDA TASTE OF PLACE :: OAKLAND, CA
“Our love of Oakland brought us back to the East Bay. Once we started producing our wines, we discovered the Oakland Wine Trail, which was a group of local wine producers. And we wanted in!” Beuselinck said. “So we built out this building. But the one thing that is unique about our tasting room is that our wine are all ours – they come from the property in Hopland, the grapes we grow and the really unique wines that our Winemaker, Sebastian Donoso, is making. It was a chance for us to educate our guests about what goes into the wine we are producing.” The tasting room is open the same hours as Linden Street Brewery; Thursday and Friday from 5:00-9:00pm and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00-5:00pm.
