Upcoming Experiences
The Garagiste Wine Festival Paso Robles
The Garagiste Wine Festival, named the ‘Best Wine Festival in the US in 2018 in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers Choice Awards, is the first and only wine festival dedicated to the undiscovered and under-recognized American artisan ‘garagiste’ producers who are making some of the best, most exciting, handcrafted small-lot production wines in the world.
Founded by fellow garagistes Stewart McLennan and Douglas Minnick, the Garagiste Festivals are committed to discovering the best and most innovative limited-production winemakers and promoting and showcasing them to a broad audience of discerning wine consumers.
In addition to its flagship annual festival in Paso Robles, CA, the Garagiste Festival line-up includes Garagiste Festival: Southern Exposure, featuring Santa Ynez Valley garagistes; the Garagiste Festival: Urban Exposure, in Los Angeles; the Garagiste Festival, Northern Exposure, in Sonoma; winemaker dinners, a newsletter, garagiste profiles and more.
LA Wine Fest Day 2
The LAWineFest would have celebrated our 15th anniversary in 2020. This popular event blazed a trail in LA to bring wine and people together in a fun, inviting and accessible way. A local institution, we’re known to deliver a sun-kissed outdoor event that balances fun, exploration and education, with all things wine. And, now in 2021, after a challenging pandemic, we are all ready to celebrate!
