Food for Thought: Summer/Fall 2025

🍷✨ The Future Is Bright for Small-Batch Winem 🍷✨ The Future Is Bright for Small-Batch Winemakers! ✨🍷 The Garagiste Wine Festival, @garagistefestival, celebrates the bold, creative spirit of small-lot winemakers—those crafting fewer than 1,500 cases a year, often flying solo and doing it all themselves. These are the wines with soul, made by the people who grow the grapes, make the wine, and design the labels.

The name “garagiste” comes from Bordeaux, where maverick winemakers once made exceptional wine in garages—outside the traditional château system. Today, it represents a thriving movement of independent, hands-on producers who focus on quality, experimentation, and passion over prestige.

At Garagiste festivals across California—from Solvang to Paso Robles and beyond—you can taste these expressive, often unconventional wines, and meet the makers face-to-face. It’s where wine lovers discover what’s next, before the rest of the world catches on.

Want in? Don’t miss the Garagiste Discovery Tasting Pass: two-for-one tastings at 70+ participating micro-wineries for just $69.
