The Clement Introduces Its New Wine Package:
Antonio Galloni of The Wine Advocate has high praise for the wines and wineries of the Santa Cruz
Mountains: "There is no doubt in my mind the Santa Cruz Mountains is the greatest and most
overlooked terroir in the United States. Period."
Few wine regions on earth can match the climates, soils and vertigo-inducing views of the Santa
Cruz Mountains appellation.
One of the top wineries in that region is the acclaimed Thomas Fogarty Winery and Vineyard,
which has been named “Winery of the Year” and listed as one of the top 100 wineries in the world
in 2014 by Wine & Spirits magazine. The Fogarty winery has been producing some of the most
critically acclaimed estate wines in California since 1981.
Situated at 2,000 feet above sea level, the Thomas Fogarty Winery offers a rare confluence of
great vineyard sites, sweeping panoramas of the San Francisco Bay area and some of the best
wines in the world.
The Clement Palo Alto is pleased to be able to present two fascinating experiences for wine
lovers at the extraordinary Thomas Fogarty Winery, located just directly west of Palo Alto and
Stanford University in the picturesque Santa Cruz Mountains.
One package offers vineyard tours and a private tasting of Fogarty's current release wines and
some choice library selections. The second offers a private moderated tasting of several of
Fogarty's wines with the owner and winemakers in the winery's tasting salon.
Experience No. 1:
Guided Vineyards Tour & Tasting
This down-to-earth experience involves an intimate tour of Fogarty's eight micro-vineyards
covering 25 acres of ridge top and steep southeast- and east-facing hillsides on the property.

2. These 35 to 40-year-old organically farmed vines produce the small, allocated quantities of
Thomas Fogarty's award-winning single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. As you visit
each of the eight vineyards you will learn about the history and organic farming practices of the
winery, which dates back to 1978 when Stanford cardiovascular surgeon and world-renowned
inventor, Thomas Fogarty, planted his first grapes and in 1981 established a commercial winery in
the mountainous area.
Following the tour, you will convene in the proprietors' tasting salon for a moderated tasting of
current releases and selections from the winery's library.
This tour takes about three hours, involves some light walking and climbing in and out of a
military-style all-terrain vehicle. Participants are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes and
active attire. The tour is limited to eight people. $500 per person.
Additionally, and at extra cost, you can end the day at Palo Alto's renowned Zola restaurant,
where Chef Owner Guillaume Bienaime and winemaker Tom Fogarty Jr. will prepare a menu of
dishes paired with Thomas Fogarty wines.
Experience No. 2:
Private Tasting in Proprietors' Tasting Salon
Participants will enjoy a private tasting of Fogarty's allocated current release wines and some
choice library selections in the Proprietors' Tasting Salon with either owner Tom Fogarty Jr.,
