The Garagiste Wine Festival returns to the Los Angeles area on June 22, showcasing 44 micro-wineries from California, including Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles and Santa Barbara. Attendees can taste more than 150 wines and explore 25 unique grape varietals, including Rare and Reserve wines featured during the first hour of tasting.
The festival is from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Glendale Civic Auditorium. Tasting tickets range from $79 – $100.
Most of the artisans at the festival can’t be found on “wine country” maps. Many sell out their wines quickly to their allocation lists. The Garagiste Festival gives attendees the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and meet these winemakers in person as they share their wines and stories.
