Gift Baskets by Cinnabar


Being ever so conscious of the environment and looking for every opportunity to be more “green”, we have carefully chosen a new approach to filling this year’s gift baskets.

Instead of being filled with large cardboard boxes containing small quantities of treats, they now contain useful and reusable items that will appeal to just about everyone on your list: ice buckets, bottle stoppers, wine coasters, cheese knives and other wine-service accoutrement.

However, what would a gift basket be without some special treats? … Upon opening, your friends and family will discover a tempting array of fine chocolates, nuts and biscotti to name a few. The packaging is minimal, and of course, these baskets are all about the wine!

If you would like to select different wines for your basket, please contact Angela at 408-385-1793 or angela@cinnabarwinery.com. Alchemist Wine Society members receive a 20% discount on their orders.
