The Mariani family purchased the then-decrepit piece of land three years ago, with the intent of restoring the century-old buildings and replanting indigenous vegetation, along with exploring the processes of winemaking (they use wild yeasts!). An abandoned hacienda, which they are planning on using for tasting rooms and an event space, sits above the vineyard rows, a single dirt road—flanked by tall palm trees—winds through the trellising to connect it to the main thoroughfare.
When we arrived, we found one of our hosts busy in the garden picking fava greens for a salad to be had alongside baked beans, local cheeses and salumi, and other varieties of vegetables grown on the property. Lunch was prepared by a handful of the fete’s attendees. Each of them added a bit of their own ingenuity to the dishes prepared, many of which came out of the gorgeous, handmade Nido Oven, and all of them paired with Scribe’s wine.
The result: a truly lovely afternoon comprised of good people and mouthwatering, locally sourced food enjoyed in a completely sublime setting. Keep up to date with the goings-on at Scribe Winery in their newsletter, or become a member of The Scribe Viticulture Society to receive shipments of their wine throughout the year.
