San Francisco Grand Tasting: Every March the Rhone Rangers ride into San Francisco to show their wines to consumers and members of the trade and press. This is our largest tasting event; in 2010 it took place at Fort Mason and the Log Cabin in the San Francisco Presidio on March 27-28.

The Smithsonian's Sustainable Seafood Conference: New this year, the Rhone Rangers were excited to be the exclusive wine partner of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, for their second annual Sustainable Seafood Conference.  Seventeen Rhone Ranger member wineries poured their wines at the walk-around tasting and VIP Reception on June 11-12 in Washington DC.
