Hill House Inn 10701 Palette Drive, Mendocino, CA

Join us at an extraordinary Coro wine tasting event, while enjoying the sparkling views from the upper reaches of the Hill House House Inn. It was 13 vintages ago that a group of Mendocino County winemakers joined together and came up with a unique idea to create an ultra-premium wine blend that would showcase the heritage varietal of Mendocino County, Zinfandel. The christened label and blend known as “Coro,” named and inspired from the Latin root for “chorus” is the first wine of its kind to set blending and aging parameters for a wine distinctive to its region in the United States, bringing together the best of Mendocino County grapes and wine.
