About the event
Jeff Pisoni leads a California wine masterclass
This 67 Pall Mall event is a guided wine tasting and exploration evening built around cool-climate California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with winemaker Jeff Pisoni hosting the session. The programme is scheduled in London on Friday 1 May 2026, with a glass on arrival before the masterclass begins.
Pisoni, Lucia and vineyard-designated pours
The tasting list spans Pisoni and Lucia wines from Monterey County and the Santa Lucia Highlands, including Lucy Pico Blanco, Lucia by Pisoni Chardonnay from Soberanes Vineyard, Pisoni Estate Chardonnay, Lucy Gamay Noir, Lucia by Pisoni Pinot Noir from Soberanes Vineyard, Lucia by Pisoni Pinot Noir from Garys’ Vineyard, Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir and Lucia by Pisoni Syrah from Susan’s Hill Vineyard.
The producer context matters here: Pisoni’s small-lot wines are fermented on native yeasts, aged in barrel, and bottled unfiltered and unfined. The programme also connects the Estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with the Lucia second label, Soberanes Vineyard, Garys’ Vineyard and the high-altitude Susan’s Hill vineyard.
Santa Lucia Highlands as the through-line
The regional focus is the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in Monterey County, described for this event as a 12-mile terraced region. Pisoni’s vineyard is identified as the highest in the appellation at 1,300 feet above sea level, where morning sun, afternoon fog and Pacific breezes lengthen ripening, with harvests often later than in other parts of California.
Pisoni’s story begins with Gary Pisoni extending the family’s farming activity into winemaking in 1982 by planting vines on craggy hillsides in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Today, through Jeff and Mark Pisoni, the producer is associated with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from California.
