Sunrise to Sunset: Coffee & Wine Experience

Some mornings are worth the drive.

Join certified Q-grader Kelly Abbott of Unleashed Coffee Co. and sommelier Fah Sathirapongsasuti of Sunset Cellars for an intimate two-hour tasting experience in the vineyards of Suisun Valley — where the world of specialty coffee and fine wine meet for the first time.

This isn't a coffee class. This isn't a wine tasting. It's something nobody in Northern California is currently offering: two certified experts, two guided flights, and a conversation about the surprising language these two beloved beverages share.

What to Expect

The morning unfolds in three acts.

The coffee act opens with a guided flight of four single-origin coffees sourced directly from Unleashed Coffee's farming partners — sequenced from light to dark roast, each introduced by its origin story and farm. Flavor notes are shared only after your first sip. No bias. Just your palate.

The bridge brings Kelly and Fah together to explore the shared vocabulary of coffee and wine — terroir, acidity, body, finish, fermentation, and the choices makers make that shape everything in the cup or glass. Both the SCA Coffee Flavor Wheel and the Wine Aroma Wheel are on the table. The connections will surprise you.

The wine act closes the morning with a guided flight of four Sunset Cellars wines — and by now, you'll have the vocabulary to taste them differently than you ever have before.

What's Included

• Guided four-coffee tasting flight — single-origin, direct-trade, sequenced light to dark
• Guided four-wine tasting flight — Sunset Cellars estate and small-lot selections
• Printed Unleashed Coffee flight deck tasting card (yours to keep)
• SCA Coffee Flavor Wheel
• Wine Aroma Wheel
• Co-hosted presentation by a certified Q-grader and a sommelier
