Join us for the Wine Industry Club's first event of the school year! Donkey & Goat Winery welcomes the Haas Wine Industry club for an educational tasting on sustainable wine-making. Catch up with old friends and mingle with new ones over a few glasses of Northern California's greatest crop. The tasting will be held during Harvest, therefore the winery will be in full operation.

The Wine Club is significantly subsidizing the first 25 tasting tickets from the full price of $25/tasting. Tickets are non-refundable but transferable between Wine Club members.


More about Donkey & Goat Winery

Donkey & Goat Winery is owned and operated by Jared & Tracey Brandt in Berkeley, California. We make “natural wines” which is a term that covers both the vineyard and the cellar. That is what distinguishes natural wine– the extension of natural farming philosophies that drive the practices for sustainable, organic & biodynamic farming into the cellar.

Our wines are made from sustainably (or more) farmed vineyards in the Sierra Nevada, Mendocino and Napa. In the cellar nothing is removed and nothing is added save minimal effective sulphur. Sulphur is a contentious issue in the natural wine world. We have made wines with zero sulphur added but in general we do use minimum effective sulphur. Or we use as little as possible and our levels going into bottle fall within the predominant guideline for natural wines in Europe. Our wines are bottled without stabilization, fining or filtration. While not required, we include our ingredient list on our label which is remarkably short: grapes and minimal sulphur. We have made our wines in this manner since we created Donkey & Goat in 2004 and will continue to do so until we stop.
