Blind Barrel Event in Placerville celebrating Repeal of Prohibition

Event is Postponed!

Annual El Dorado Winery Association Blind Barrel Event

Placerville, CA – The 18th Amendment of 1919 or Prohibition, sought to “elevate morality” in the US by banning the consumption of alcohol in the US. In 1933 President Roosevelt repealed Prohibition with the 21st amendment. Over eight decades later, the El Dorado Winery Association still revels for repeal while it seeks to elevate your senses!

June 8th, 2019 join in the celebration of the repeal of Prohibition in period style as more than a dozen wineries bring you a one-night “Speakeasy!” The joint will be jumpin’ as you enjoy legal libations, local food, and dance the night away to a live swing band at Boeger Winery located at 1709 Carson Road in Placerville. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. snap your suspenders, tip your hats, swing your flapper dresses while letting the good times roll with wineries such as; Bumgarner, Chateau Davell, Oakstone, and Mediterranean.
