The 8th Annual Garagiste Festival: Northern Exposure is coming back on May 2, 2026 to give you rare access to the region's best small, hard-to-find winemakers. At this intimate event, you will discover and taste amazing, cutting edge wines from over 40 high-quality, micro-production, commercial wineries from Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Sierra Foothills, and more.
Find out for yourself why we’ve been selling out our events for ten years and why we were named the #1 Wine Festival in the Country by USA Today! Meet the winemakers and hear directly from them about the ins and outs of their winemaking styles.
Over 90% of Garagiste wineries do not have a tasting room, so this is truly a singular chance to discover and meet the next great winemakers and get the opportunity to taste their amazing micro-production wines.&nbsp;Your appointment to try these wines is all in one room, right here! You won't be able to duplicate this tasting experience at any other wine event.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Meet the winemakers, taste their passion!
