# Event Details - **Event Name**: Garagiste Wine Festival: 11th Annual Urban Exposure - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Find out why USA Today named The Garagiste Festival the "#1 Best Wine Festival in America"!About this EventA Tasting Experience Like No OtherImagine stepping into a room buzzing with over 30 CA micro-wineries, each offering a kaleidoscope of flavors—more than 150 wines from 25+ grape varieties in a single afternoon. Unlike festivals that focus narrowly on one region or varietal (think Pinot Noir or Napa Valley exclusives), Garagiste Festivals throw the doors wide open. You might taste a bold Trousseau Gris from Sonoma, a funky Carignan from Mendocino, or a sparkling Picpoul Blanc from Paso Robles—all in one place. This diversity is unmatched, pulling from nearly every California AVA, from Santa Barbara to the Napa and everywhere in between. It’s a treasure hunt for wine lovers who crave the unexpected, from Cabernet and Chardonnay to a quirky blend or a grape you’ve never heard of.The festivals don’t just stop at variety—they prioritize access. Most garagiste wineries lack tasting rooms or broad distribution, making these events your exclusive ticket to their creations. Early access options like the “Rare and Reserve” tastings elevate the experience further, offering library wines, club-only releases, and barrel samples that even die-hard collectors covet. With limited ticket sales, the crowd stays manageable, ensuring you can savor each pour and chat with the winemakers without elbowing through a mob.As with all Garagiste events, only the winemakers and/or owners (often the same person) will be pouring the wines. Come meet the artists who are making some of the most exciting and innovative wines in the world!Limited ticket sales so no waiting 15-20 minutes for a taste!
