Planning Tips
A few key recommendations from our guide:
Buy tickets early: Popular sessions sell out, and early bird pricing saves money.
Arrive at session start: Less crowded booths, fresher food, better conversations with pourers.
Pace yourself: With 100+ wineries pouring, you can’t taste everything. Choose quality over quantity.
Plan transportation: You’ll be tasting wine for hours—arrange rideshare, transit, or designated driver beforehand.
Take notes: After 20+ tastings, you’ll forget which wines you loved. Track your favorites.
Beyond the Festival
Our guide also explores how to continue wine discovery after the festival weekend ends. Wine clubs deliver that same curated exploration monthly—without tickets, crowds, or travel—bringing quality wines and educational content directly to your door.
