Event
Office Hours at Saison Cellar: Coombsville
Realm Cellars hosts a Coombsville-focused Office Hours conversation and tasting at Saison Cellar & Wine Bar in San Francisco, led by Head Sommelier Jacob Brown.
About the event
Coombsville as the evening’s theme
Office Hours at Saison Cellar: Coombsville is part of Realm Cellars’ four-evening San Francisco series at Saison Cellar & Wine Bar. Each gathering in the series is organized around a single wine theme; this installment centers on Coombsville and is structured as an informal conversation and tasting rather than a formal class.
The format runs 90 minutes and is limited to eight guests for the Coombsville evening. Lite bites are included. Membership at Saison Cellar is not required, which makes this a Realm Cellars event hosted at the San Francisco wine bar rather than a members-only Saison Cellar program.
Wines and conversation lead
For the tasting, wines are pulled from Realm’s cellar to match the Coombsville theme, with additional bottles from vintners that inspire the Realm team. The event materials do not name the individual bottles, so the clearest expectation is a theme-driven tasting anchored by Realm’s cellar and selected outside producers.
Jacob Brown, Realm’s Head Sommelier, leads the conversation. Before joining Realm, Brown served as Beverage Director at Lazy Bear in San Francisco, where he built a Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning list. His role here is to guide the room through the wines and the Coombsville focus.
Place and published cost
The gathering takes place at Saison Cellar & Wine Bar, 234 Townsend St in San Francisco. Realm notes that this location is separate from Saison Restaurant, so the Townsend Street address is the relevant location detail for planning around the event.
The published cost for the event is $125 per person in USD, with Realm noting that cost may vary by theme across the broader Office Hours series. Realm Cellars is the organizer of the San Francisco series.
