Lot #19: Unique Estate Experience with Guillaume

Named for Guillaume’s wife, Clos Solène is a story of the pair’s love and perseverance, striving to achieve their dreams, even when it meant crossing the world! 

Guillaume and Solène lived in Bordeaux, but he wasn’t sure that he wanted to make wine there, so Guillaume became an intern at L’Aventure in California. What was only supposed to be a three-month harvest internship turned into six months, which turned into a position as an assistant winemaker. He had fallen in love with the incredible terroir of Paso Robles.

While working for L’Aventure, Guillaume also worked day and night on his own project. He and Solène had decided to start their own winery together, so in 2007, they invested their savings. Clos Solène was born.

This exclusive experience is designed to give you an in-depth look at Clos Solène’s unique identity, where you will learn how they make their boutique, critically-acclaimed wines.

But you don’t have to wait until your tour to enjoy these incredible wines, for you will leave Soirée Du Vin with a magnum bottle of Clos Solène’s flagship reserve wine, the 2019 Fleur de Solène!
