Experience exquisite wines poured at the White House! 

To kick off the first Vino Veritas event of the year, the Harvard Club of Japan is pleased to present an intimate dinner with the acclaimed vintner Akiko Freeman of Freeman Winery. Akiko’s Chardonnay, “Ryo-fu”, was poured at the White House banquet when Abe Shinzo visited Barack Obama in April 2015. In addition, her Pinot Noir was ranked 22 in the Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines in 2011 as well as listed amongst Food & Wine Magazine's Best 30 Pinots in the World. Please join us for an intimate evening with Akiko at the Ritz Carlton Hinokizaka private room.

Grand Festival - Saturday's Grand Tasting will showcase over 80 phenomenal producers of pinot noir. Consumers will be able to sample hundreds of pinots from every important domestic pinot noir region, from the Russian River Valley to the Santa Lucia Highlands, Oregon to Carneros, the Anderson Valley to the Sonoma Coast to the Santa Rita Hills.

Grand Festival VIP Regional And Early Entry Tasting - This one-hour, sit-down tasting will feature wineries in groups of 4. Each winery will pour 2 wines to a group of 50 VIPs. (Wines must be different than what you pour at your table.) Each of the four Winemakers or Winery Owners will talk the group through your wines, and will share your story with them. For the second hour, you will be able to taste in the festival with the trade, in a more intimate setting.
