The Garagiste Wine Festival: Seventh Annual Urban Exposure will be held in Glendale July 22-23. Among the winemakers pouring at the tasting experience will be Santa Clarita Valley residents Ben and Katy Sposato founders of Acri Wine Company. Garagiste co-founder, Douglas Minnick, owner of Newhall tasting room Double Trouble in Newhall and Hoi Polloi Winery, will also be pouring at the event.

USA Today named The Garagiste Festival the “#1 Best Wine Festival in America.” The event will feature 40 of the best, hard-to-find, high-quality micro-production wineries from throughout California.

The majority of the wineries do not have tasting rooms, cannot be found on “wine country” maps and their wines can be very hard to find on store shelves. Only the winemakers and/or owners will be pouring the wines. Guests can meet the artists who are making some of the most exciting and innovative wines in the world.

Limited ticket sales so no waiting for tastings. This indoor event with A/C is at the Glendale Civic Auditorium, 1401 North Verdugo Road, Glendale, CA 91208.

Event features a silent auction filled great wine. Wine will be available to purchase and take home.

Complimentary cheese and charcuterie board courtesy of Cabot Cheese. Only the best!
