Garagiste Wine Festival ‘Urban Exposure’ returning to Glendale
– Get your tickets now for the Garagiste Wine Festival Urban Exposure at the Glendale Civic Auditorium on Saturday, June 20—enjoy “a taste of California” wines from San Diego to Napa, Sonoma, and the Mendocino Coast!
Over three dozen small, artisan wineries are pouring, representing California Wine Country from South to North! More than a dozen from Paso Robles, with others from Santa Barbara, Edna Valley, Sonoma, Napa Valley, Mendocino, Lodi, Malibu Coast, and San Diego. What a selection of tasty California wines to sample and compare.
Joining Garagiste for the first time are: 10 Ninths, Gra, Kinetic Cellars, Maylena Wines, Kukkula, and Terranean, ready to pour and introduce their wines to you.
Sip and talk with the winemakers while tasting a wide variety of single-varietal wines and blends, with a focus on grapes from Bordeaux, Rhone, Italy, Spain, Burgundy, and other lesser-known regions.
Some of these producers make as few as 50 cases per year, and many have no tasting room, so Garagiste may be the only place to sip and meet these small-production artisan winemakers.

The Garagiste Wine Festival has been named “one of the premier wine events of the year” by the LA Times and “Best Festival” by Sunset Magazine’s “Best of the West.”
It’s no wonder this fun-filled festival has expanded to events in Paso Robles, Sonoma, Santa Ynez, and Glendale, CA.
