Event Details
Sunday, August 22nd
3:00 - 6:00 pm
Festival Pavilion, Fort Mason Center, San Francisco, California
Your ticket includes: unlimited access to 300+ wineries from 30+ Callifornia appellations pouring over 50 varietals and 1,000 different wines; beautiful wine glass by Bormioli, 1 per person, new for this anniversary tasting; a great variety of Wisconsin cheeses; bread by SF's own Bakers of Paris; Dare crackers; on site deli. Wine orders may be placed at this tasting, to be shipped from the winery. Many wineries will be offering special pricing on shipping and/or select wines.
This is the most comprehensive tasting of California wines in the world -- the largest number of wineries; an enormous range of varietals; wine growing appellations from all over the state. This is a Family Winemakers tasting, which means that many of the wineries are small (under 5000 cases), have limited marketing outreach, and will be represented by family members. Over 60 wineries in this year's tasting will be pouring with us for the first time, giving you a taste of the new kids on the block. You can sample new releases from your classic favorites and from wineries just selling their first vintages. Check out varietals you've never heard of (Vermentino? Lagrein?) or your best-loved Cabs and Chardonnays. This well-respected tasting is a once-a-year opportunity to tour and taste California's wine country under one (very large) roof.

Family Winemakers of California
A lot has happened in 20 years. Our first tasting was held on November 12, 1991, in the Sheraton Palace Hotel. Family Winemakers had 71 member wineries back then, and 47 of them poured that night for about 350 members of the wine trade. We've grown. We have 650 members today, and over 300 of them will be pouring at Tasting 2010 ... including 9 that were at that very first tasting. We've grown, and so has the tasting, but some things haven't changed. The wineries are just as dedicated as they were then to producing the finest wines they can, the winemakers are just as passionate about the right soil, the right grape, the right microclimate. And Family Winemakers is just as committed to representing the rights and interests of its member wineries in the halls of the legislature ... as well as within the walls of Festival Pavilion. Taste California! And be part of our history.
