We are thrilled to be bringing the 9th Annual Garagiste Festival back to the Los Angeles area at the historic Glendale Civic Auditorium.

Discover and taste amazing, cutting edge wines from over 40 high-quality, micro-production, commercial winemakers from all over California - Paso Robles, Sonoma, Napa, Livermore, Mendocino, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara County, and more.

Most of these excellent, but hard-to-find, artisans do not have tasting rooms, and can't be found on "wine country" maps. Many sell out their wines quickly to their allocation lists. The Garagiste Festival gives you the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and meet these winemakers in person as they share their wines and their stories. We hope you will come out and support these small, hard-working winemakers. We know you're going to love what you taste.

What's the big deal about being small? These are artisans in the true sense of the word. Their wines are created from personal passion, not a marketing strategy. These are NOT supermarket wines, and the difference is astounding. Come taste for yourself!
