What is our Annual Alta B Weekend
Alta B Weekend is our annual Customer Appreciation celebratory weekend. The weekend is named after the Wagner matriarch, Alta Button, (seen here at the inaugural Alta B Day in 1980). Join us for Alta B Weekend celebratory festivities and the biggest discounts of the year!
Alta B at her 83rd Birthday Celebration in 1980
The first Alta B Day was held in July of 1980, as Alta’s 83rd birthday party. We have continued this tradition and we invite you to celebrate with us! There is no cover charge or ticket required, but it is a very busy weekend and tasting reservations should be made online in advance if you would like to do a guided tasting indoors.
As always, flights to enjoy on the deck or the lawn are first-come-first-serve and we will not be taking reservations. Visit our What to Expect at your Wine Tasting for more information about flights and guided tastings. If you aren’t able to make a reservation for a guided tasting, stop in for a flight and some bites from our new deck menu! All weekend, in the gift shop, you can also take advantage of the best discounts of the year on wine, beer, and gift items. (Alta B Weekend sales are only valid at the Winery/Brewery)

Alta B Wines
When Bill Wagner set out to create a wine for his mother, Alta Button Wagner, he discovered that what she really wanted was not a fancy wine for the aristocrats, but a truly great wine for real people, full of flavor and not overly dry. Simple and elegant, but down to earth just like Alta B. herself.
Alta B Red was the first with Alta B White and Alta B Blush following to form our trio of sweet, fruity & refreshing Alta B wines.
