The combination of wine, bees and honey are a perfect pairing, says Rebecca Gilbert, CRŪ Winery senior director of marketing and communications. “Bees and other pollinators play an indirect, yet vital role, in growing high-quality grapes. They foster a healthy and balanced vineyard ecosystem, benefiting everything from cover crops to soil nutrition, to attracting beneficial insects and driving away harmful ones. We look forward to introducing attendees to CRŪ Winery while helping educate attendees about the importance of bees and other pollinators at this sweet celebration.”   

Throughout the California Honey Festival, CRŪ Winery will be in the Wine Garden pouring samples of their award-winning Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and sharing ideas on how best to pair wine and honey. 

In addition to sampling CRŪ Winery’s award-winning wines, attendees will enjoy artisan honey tastings, live music, bee and pollinator education and food from local restaurants. The California Honey Festival takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 16 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 17. To learn more about CRŪ Winery, visit cruwinery.com.
