The Wine Institute is bringing California Wine Month (CWM) back to Hong Kong for its seventh year and is offering a vibrant lineup of fun events with California's wines to local oenophiles throughout the summer. Like its previous years, this wine-focused month aims to shed light on California’s ‘Golden State of Mind’ – a philosophy emphasising the region's sustainability, innovation, optimism, and bold attitude towards winemaking.

This year, CWM will return with its flagship Sips of Summer event on June 21 and 22 at Soho House Hong Kong, promising a weekend of enjoying and celebrating California’s wines. During the two-day event, attendees can sample and purchase over 50 different wines from the region, including coveted bottles unavailable in Hong Kong that will be flown in from California’s finest sustainable vineyards. For those looking to expand their wine knowledge, the weekend wine fest also includes guided tasting sessions led by local and California's industry experts. Expect to hear from wine educators, sommeliers, and brand ambassadors as they share insights on each wine’s unique characteristics and how they represent their terroirs.

Additionally, Sips of Summer presents ‘Wines on a Mission’, a mini-exhibition and video theatre showcasing the Golden State’s sustainable winemaking practices through four key elements – water, soil, energy, and community – that make California one of the world’s spearheads of sustainable winegrowing. There’ll also be live music performances from local musician OJ Reambillo to keep the atmosphere high all weekend long.

Early-bird tickets to Sips of Summer are available for $180 each on Eventbrite, which include entry and a CWM-branded wine glass, a waterproof pouch, two $50 cash vouchers for purchases of $250 or above, and more. What’s more, CWM will also be organising pop-up workshops, retail promotions, and tasting events at venues such as city’super, Watson’s Wine, and Enoteca, among others throughout the summer.
