The Tasting Room features 121 wineries pouring ~600 wines. But the International Festival Tastings are more than a tasting; they’re an opportunity to explore all of the wines of the world, and to find new and exciting ways to enjoy them. In addition to the individual winery tables, regional tasting stations hosted by California, Taste USA, and New Zealand, as well as wine bars featuring sustainable wines, sparkline wines, and West Coast Chardonnays, will allow festivalgoers to explore the unique wines of a specific area of the wine world.
