August 31, 2026 (Lompoc, CA) — On Saturday, September 12th, The Hilt Estate, a producer of some of the most exciting and singular expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Santa Barbara County’s Sta. Rita Hills AVA, will host a “Sip & Stroll” wine tasting experience at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The evening will pair a curated selection of wines from The Hilt Estate and its sister label, The Paring, with food and a behind-the-scenes tour of some of SoFi Stadium’s premium and exclusive spaces, home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers.
Focused on representing California’s vibrant wine culture, Legends Global, the culinary operator at SoFi Stadium, has partnered closely with The Hilt Estate and The Paring since the stadium opened to develop a wine program that celebrates Santa Barbara County, one of the world’s top wine-growing regions. Held throughout the year, Sip & Stroll offers a limited number of tickets to guests for a one-of-a-kind evening celebrating the best of California’s wine and sports culture.
“Our partnership with Legends Global and SoFi Stadium has become one of the most exciting ways we share the story of Santa Barbara County with wine lovers beyond the vineyard,” said Wayne Kelterer, Business Development Director at The Hilt Estate and host for the evening. “Sip & Stroll gives guests the opportunity to experience these wines in a completely different setting while connecting with the people, places and stories behind each bottle.”
The event begins at 6 p.m. and will feature wines from The Hilt Estate and The Paring paired with bites served throughout the venue. The experience will offer access to select spaces throughout the stadium, including The Hilt Wine Bar, team interview rooms and premium clubs and suites, providing a behind-the-scenes look at one of Los Angeles’ premier sports venues.
Tickets are $149.99 per person, and availability is limited. Discounted group rates are available for parties of four or more guests. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.
About The Hilt Estate
In 2014, The Hilt acquired a 3,600-acre property in Santa Ynez Valley, setting the stage for the ultimate home of The Hilt Estate. Located in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA in northwestern Santa Barbara County, California, the property is home to three distinct vineyards: Radian, Bentrock and Puerta del Mar, which surrounds the winery. To best appreciate the wines made by The Hilt Estate, ideally one would visit these dramatic and even extreme vineyards where the grapes are farmed. Just as all great wines tell the story of their place of origin, The Hilt’s pinot noirs and chardonnays are the bold expressions of the unique estate. By employing innovative viticultural practices, selecting clones strategically, and making the most of the coastal influence, winds, and soils, Winemaker Matt Dees is pushing the vineyards to the hilt of their potential and creating wines that are lively, fresh, and well-structured.
