No RSVP needed!  While only Audubon members may vote on the officers, board and the name change proposal, everyone is welcome to share in this celebration.

Venue:  Our hosts for this event at Triple Oak Wine Vault are owners Betty Tamm and her husband, Geoff Faraghan. Triple Oak Vineyard was planted in 2000 by Betty and her late husband, Paul. Paul was a perfectionist and his attention to detail translated into a reputation for producing high-quality grapes. After his passing in 2013, Betty took over the management of the vineyard and continues to maintain the excellence of the product, specializing in Pinot Noir and Tempranillo.  Triple Oak also offers white wines such as Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, as well as blends. Triple Oak Wine Vault’s Oak Woodland Series of labels feature birds that frequent the vineyard property nestled within an Oak Woodland.  While the labels are delightful, the wine behind the labels is just as good.

Facility Accessibility: The Triple Oak Tasting Room is located in an historic building Oakland. The restroom has a flat entrance (no step) and a wide door, however, the room is narrow.  There is a bathroom in the back of the building that is wider with turning space that can accommodate a wheelchair.  The front door is a double door with one step.  It has been accessed by wheelchair use with assistance.

 Parking: There is not a designated handicapped parking spot; however there is room for a van to unload in a corner parking spot in front of the building.  If needed, the adjacent area can be coned off to allow for wheelchair access.
