Founded by Chris Bilbro, a Sonoma County native with winemaking roots dating back three generations, Marietta rose to prominence with its revolutionary Old Vine Red, a California red blend that essentially created the category. The winery has slowly expanded its estate holdings over the past thirty years, evolving into a beacon for high quality, balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Rhône variety blends. Now fully estate-based and organically farmed, Marietta has vineyards spanning 310 acres in the Alexander Valley, McDowell Valley, and Yorkville Highlands. Notable among their heritage plantings are California’s oldest Syrah blocks, planted in the late 1800s.Scot Bilbro, Chris’s son, has brought Marietta into its next, incredibly exciting phase. After graduating from UC Davis with a degree in Viticulture and Enology in 2007, Scot joined the winery full-time, assuming the role of winemaker in 2012. Steeped in the history of the California wine country and the traditions established by his father, Scot combines his creativity and technical background in guiding the winery’s vision of viticulture and winemaking. Today, the fusion of traditional values and style with modern precision have culminated in the most highly regarded wines of Marietta’s four decade history.Things to Note:· One-week cancellation policy· We are within two blocks of both the Main Street Metra and Main Street "L" stops· You'll be sampling seven wines: please eat prior to class!· This is a sit-down class as opposed to a casual wine tasting: please keep chatter to a minimum - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/evanston/an-evening-with-scot-bilbro-of-marietta-cellars/100001996824198932 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, food-drinks - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: The Wine Goddess - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 55.2, max: 55.2, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Evanston - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: The Wine Goddess - **lat**: 42.0338714 - **long**: -87.68070519999998 - **full address**: The Wine Goddess, 702 Main Street, Evanston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Scot Bilbro of Marietta Cellars! - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/b71b22e8da28e598a08720037a6a48f8dc8ba4ed8cd541467a99f8d6f959ab63-rimg-w1200-h800-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1786267989 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Scot Bilbro of Marietta Cellars! being held? - **A:** An Evening with Scot Bilbro of Marietta Cellars! takes place on Tue, 01 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 01 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at The Wine Goddess, 702 Main Street, Evanston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Scot Bilbro of Marietta Cellars!? - **A:** An Evening with Scot Bilbro of Marietta Cellars! is organized by The Wine Goddess. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "An Evening with Scot Bilbro of Marietta Cellars!", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/b71b22e8da28e598a08720037a6a48f8dc8ba4ed8cd541467a99f8d6f959ab63-rimg-w1200-h800-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1786267989", "startDate": "2026-09-01", "endDate": "2026-09-01", "url": "https://allevents.in/evanston/an-evening-with-scot-bilbro-of-marietta-cellars/100001996824198932", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Wine Goddess", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "702 Main Street", "postalCode": "60202", "addressLocality": "Evanston", "addressRegion": "IL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.0338714", "longitude": "-87.68070519999998" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Don't miss your chance to taste wine with the winemaker of one of our fave California wineries, Marietta Cellars!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-05", "availabilityEnds": "2026-09-01", "validFrom": "2026-09-05", "lowPrice": "55.20", "highPrice": "55.20", "price": "55.20", "url": "https://allevents.in/evanston/an-evening-with-scot-bilbro-of-marietta-cellars/100001996824198932" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/evanston/an-evening-with-scot-bilbro-of-marietta-cellars/100001996824198932", "price": "55.20", "name": "An Evening with Scot Bilbro of Marietta Cellars" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Wine Goddess", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/the-wine-goddess/22860798", "description": "The Wine Goddess promises a fresh, felicitous take on the grape and its noblest derivative: WINE!We offer a wide variety of classes at our Evanston store.
