The Festival of Undiscovered Grapes

Under-the-radar varietals get their day in the sun at this festival dedicated to unique wines (formerly called the Festival of Forgotten Grapes). Forget chardonnay and pinot noir—surprise your palate with sips of wine varieties made from unknown grapes (think semillon, tannat and teroldego) grown by winemakers across the state. Sample offerings from over 50 California wineries, and if you like what you taste, you can order as many bottles as you like at the fest and have them all delivered to you after the fact for one $20 delivery fee (which is waived if you buy 12 bottles or more).
