Join us for Premier Cruz: A Mountain Cabernet Experience, a celebration of Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet in collaboration with our exclusive automotive partner, McLaren San Francisco. On Saturday, October 24, more than 15 acclaimed local cabernet producers will pour at picturesque Lexington Hills Estate and Winery, offering guests an intimate opportunity to discover the depth character and ageability of mountain cabernet.

Each winery will pour a current-release cabernet alongside a rare or older vintage, to showcase how these wines evolve over time. Enjoy thoughtfully prepared light bites from Oak & Rye and explore a curated silent wine auction featuring exceptional bottles, rare vintages, VIP wine experiences, and more.

McLaren San Francisco will showcase select McLaren models on the property. Experience the striking visual experience of the cars against the backdrop of the Lexington Hills while joining in the enduring decades-long legacy of Premier Cruz.

Skyland Church is delighted to feature Mary Ellen McTamaney as the October artist of the month in Whitaker Hall, at Skyland Community Church. Her work can be viewed from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Sunday through October. Mary Ellen shared, “My parents supported me taking art

lessons starting before I was 10, and I took the bus on my own to the Pasadena Art Institute every Saturday. I loved going, and could choose to work with clay, paint, or drawing. I have been creating art ever since. I have worked in many mediums: pastel, watercolor, printmaking, acrylic, charcoal, and graphite.

It’s fun to be expressive and I love color. I am happy to share my work.” Skyland Church is at 25100 Skyland Road.
