What we’re about
Starting August 1, 2025 I am going to try something new. You will have 2 options:
1. Pay $35 for the year. No refunds if you do not get in. Unfortunately, this does not promise that you will get a spot either. I will keep track of those of you who choose to pay this way. if you choose this option, it will start when you pay and go for 12 months.
2. Pay $4 per event. if you pay for an event and you no show with no notification to me, then you forfeit your $. If you update your RSVP and let me know you can no longer attend, I will give you a credit.
I kindly ask everyone to remember as the event draws near to be sure to send me your event fee, if this applies. I hate to have no shows as the winery is expecting the number I give them, bringing in staff, etc to accommodate. We are a large group. It is common courtesy to show up when you say you will or to update your RSVP. Your cooperation helps me ensure smooth and enjoyable events for everyone.
One last rule I feel I need to apply is if you no show 3 times and do not contact me, I will remove you from the group. I have been courteous to those of you who have no showed in the past by reaching out. I will no longer be doing this. It is your responsibility to contact me.
Please Venmo me at @Kari-Furse to pay the annual fee or event

Please Venmo me at @Kari-Furse to pay the annual fee or event fee. - Garibaldi Cellars Wine TastingNeeds location
Garibaldi Cellars, a boutique winery, has been a dream in the making for more than 30 years when Albert and Patti Garibaldi moved from California to the Willamette Valley of the Pacific Northwest with their two sons. The lush, beautiful, landscape and the small vineyards that sporadically covered the hillsides reminded Albert of his father Giovanni’s love for farming and his passion for the intricacies of raising grapes for wine. He had a dream of working the land one day—getting his hands in the dirt and tending the vine stock like his father before him.
Garibaldi Cellars’ first vintage is the 2015 Giovanni Pinot Noir. Our flagship wine is dedicated to a very proud man who raised his family and worked hard all his life. Papa, or Tony (as Giovanni was known to friends and family), would be proud of what his family has created today in his honor. As a tribute to him and his journey, his passport picture from Chiavari, Italy adorns every label.Tasting fee: $25/pp waived with 2 bottle purchase
