Herzog is proud to continue investing in the region and to share an experience that highlights both their history and the unique agricultural character of California.

The new self-guided tour offers an engaging look at the Herzog family’s journey from Slovakia to the United States, as well as the craftsmanship behind winemaking—from California’s soils and climate to barrel and cork production. The event will feature remarks from members of the Herzog family and highlight the winery’s continued commitment to the Oxnard community and California’s wine industry. Guests will also enjoy a reception with curated bites prepared by the award-winning chefs of Tierra Sur, located on-site at Herzog Wine Cellars.
