To celebrate the release of the Ambassador's Reserve Merlot, Orfila holds the elegant Merlot Futures Party each November. The formal affair includes outdoor wine tasting of current vintages and library wines, a gourmet five-course meal with wines matched to each course, entertainment and dancing. Attendees look forward to this always-sold-out affair as the festive start of the holiday season.
Tickets are offered to people who have purchased a case of Merlot Futures. The sale of "futures," a time-honored tradition in Bordeaux, gives wine connoisseurs the opportunity to purchase sought-after vintages at special "pre-bottling" discount prices.
Buying Merlot Futures at Orfila is the only way to secure a case of the Ambassador's Reserve Merlot. Once the wine is released to the public in November, there is a limit of one bottle per person. And, futures buyers save as much as 33%!

Our annual, always-sold-out Grape Stomp takes place on the last Saturday in August. The afternoon event celebrates the start of harvest with hay rides through the vineyard, grape stomping in a huge five-foot barrel, dancing to a live band, wine tasting and a delicious buffet dinner. And -- fear not - the resulting grape juice ends up as fertilizer, not wine!
Everyone gets to relive I Love Lucy's famous Italian Grape Stomp scene at the annual Orfila Grape Stomp
