OYSTER HAPPY HOUR +
CLAM Party with
DUNITES WinE Co.
Friday, April 17th | 3PM - 8PM
Join us Friday, April 17th for a special happy hour and supper wine takeover with Rachel and Tyler Eck of Dunites Wine Co. From 3PM - 5PM we’ll be offering flights of Dunites’ seafood-friendly sparkling and white wines, paired with oysters on the half shell (while supplies last!) and other classic happy hour snacks. Tyler and Rachel will be rolling into dinner service from 5PM - 8PM, pouring wines by the glass and bottle alongside the long-awaited return of clams & noodles!
Dunites is a small, husband and wife project based in San Luis Obispo. Named after an eclectic group of 1930’s cosmopolitan refugees known as the Dunites who settled in the dunes of SLO, Rachel and Tyler’s wines draw inspiration from the ways of the Dunites, who proudly described themselves as a collection of free thinkers, artists, nudists and poets. The wines have distinct purity and freshness, standing on a foundation that, above all, the wines should always be delicious.
We’re enthusiastic about these wines and so honored to have them join us on the 17th. Come experience a taste of the central coast dunes in Sonoma. We look forward to seeing you there!

ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT
Saturday, April 19th from 5PM - 8PM
Join us this weekend for ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT—a celebration of our freshest collab with Sonoma friends FRES.CO & Winery Sixteen 600. ️
We’ll be gathering to celebrate the lovechild of our collaboration: 2024 Swim Contact! She’s dry, with just a little grip, and bursting with all the stone fruits—a true spring delight.
The kitchen will be slinging smashburgers, Hippie salads and plenty of other V.S.C hits.
Plus, we’ll be screening Olompali: A Hippie Odyssey, (the greatest hippie story never told, which also helped inspire the name Swim Club), with plenty of our delicious Bardos Cider collab ‘Olompali’ to wash it all down.
“The bulk of this wine is Benguerel Vineyard Semillon, which saw 1 week of whole cluster skin contact. It lends the wine a ton of structure, depth, and length. The wine was rounded out by additions of orange Falanghina, Cortese, and Loureiro (5% each) which really pump up the fruity aroma.”
- Jack Sporer, FRESCO Winemaker/Owner
See you soon, Sonoma!

Love is a fish Screening
LOVE IS A FISH -
dinner + a movie
On Saturday, March 1st, we will host a dinner-and-a-movie screening of LOVE IS A FISH, a short film by dear friends of ours, Sonoma’s own Conor Hagen and east-coaster (and honorary Sonoman) Chris Fischer.
Fish is a foundational part of the Japanese diet. Nowhere is that truth more apparent than in Hachijo Jima, an isolated Tokyo island hundreds of miles from mainland Japan.
Largely untouched by the tourism industry, fishing has sustained Hachijo Jima's people for centuries. During this time, laborers have developed a unique and loving relationship to the ocean and its bounties.
Peaceful, precise, and poignant - LOVE IS A FISH bears witness to the often overlooked period between a fish's capture and its consumption. The film is a quiet observation on the process and work involved in bringing fish from the sea to our tables.
The family-style dinner prepared to the theme of the movie is $50 per person (before tax, gratuity and optional beverages). Doors open at 5:30PM with the dinner starting at 6:00PM and screening and a conversation with the director during the meal. Seating will be communal and festive to encourage communication and connection. We hope you can join us.
Reserve your seat below and tickets will be sent to your email!
