Our third annual A
Taste of California Wine and
Gourmet Food Tasting will bring together a large number of wineries
from
all over the state, paired with a variety of Bay Area restaurants,
caterers,
and gourmet food distributors. Wineries will be regionalized by
appellation.
A Taste
of California Wine and Gourmet Food Tasting is best described as a
grand scale
indoor street festival, offering attendees an incredible multi-cultural
experience beyond compare. The event
blends a vast array of ethnic and traditional American gourmet foods,
fine
wine, music, retail goods, and people, resulting in a philanthropic
event of
wondrous gastronomic proportion. Best of
all, 100% of event proceeds benefit non-profit charities.
A Taste of California Wine and Gourmet Food Tasting promises a well
organized
layout, allowing you the opportunity to be successful in targeting all
of our
revered California wineries and appellations, as well as diamonds in
the rough
that would have otherwise been impossible to locate.
We would like to bring to your attention the many wonderful Sponsors
who
have helped this event become a reality with their kind donations.

Tickets can be
easily
purchased online with a credit card or by mailing in a check.
