The Most Interesting Wine Festival You’ll Ever Go To!
The Festival of Undiscovered Grapes
If your wine palate is ready for something new, this event is for you. 🍷
The Festival of Undiscovered Grapes is coming to San Jose on Saturday, January 31st from 12–5 PM, and it’s all about the wines you don’t see everywhere else. Think boutique producers from Paso Robles, Sonoma, Livermore Valley, Lodi, Santa Barbara, and beyond—many pouring their own wines, which means you can actually chat with the winemakers, ask questions, and hear the stories behind what’s in your glass.
Yes, you’ll skip the usual Cabernet and Chardonnay… and instead discover seriously cool grapes like Albariño, Arneis, Chenin Blanc, Roussanne, and Vermentino on the white side, plus reds like Nebbiolo, Tannat, Mourvèdre, Tempranillo, Barbera, and Sangiovese. These are the underdog grapes—expressive, food-friendly, and wildly underrated.
One of my favorite perks? If you fall in love with something (and you will), you can order right at the event and have everything shipped to your door for one low delivery fee, no matter how many bottles you choose.
Come curious. Leave inspired. This is wine tasting for adventurous drinkers who want more than the ordinary.
