We have modified the trade tasting to allow for a more intimate one-on-one experience with our participating wineries.
How the Trade Sessions Work:
The trade event opens at 2:00pm. The full tour of the Wine Experience will take three hours. You will be led to your starting region by our Golden State Tour Guide. You can then travel to all six regions at your leisure. We do recommend allowing about 30 minutes per region to visit the 15-20 wineries in each area. Plus, new this year, every winery has brought a new to market wine for you to discover. With our advance planning tool you can mark all the must visit wineries for your travels and download your own personal itinerary.
How it works
By region
Wineries are grouped into different areas in the tasting room according to region. Upon arrival, guests will be assigned to start in a certain regon and will travel through the appellations to meet with wineries and taste their wines at their leisure. Every winery has a new to market wine for your to discover. Plus explore our Wines on a Mission to fight Climate Change exhibit to learn how California Wineries are leading the charge.

Once you are registered you can use our site to plan your tasting by bookmarking a wine that you want to taste at the event. The wines will be automatically grouped showing your selections grouped by producer and regional location of the winery at the event. You will be able to create your own personal tasting catalog. Every winery will have a new to market discovery for you to explore.
