Wine Tasting - Everyday Reds
2026-03-08 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Ladera Church, 3300 Alpine Road, Portola Valley, CA, 94028, United States
Wine tasting events are LCC are fun, educational and social. This is our third year hosting wine tasting events at the church. In the past, we have focused on different wine regions around the world. This year we want to focus on your favorite wines. Come and join us for a fun afternoon of great fellowship and good wine.
We can’t always open that delicious, 10-year-old bottle of Cabernet or Brunello every night. What red wines do you enjoy with your steak or pasta? Do you like a red blend, a pinot noir or a different varietal? Share your favorite bottle of inexpensive red wine with us.
Join Us! If you would like to attend, please bring either a bottle of wine or snacks to share with the group. Please RSVP a week before the event so we know how many people are coming.
All events are at Ladera Community Church.

Worship is the heart of our community life. Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m. in the sanctuary and online via Zoom. All ages are invited. LCC worship is a joyful celebration of God’s presence among us. We find inspiration, renewal, and refreshment through song and silence, prayer, and reflection. We seek to integrate the arts – music, drama, and visual – to enrich the worship experience. Worship continues in the many ways we seek, serve, and grow in the world.

We serve communion on the first Sunday of every month. All are welcome to the table!
