SF Vintner's Market

Warm weekends and farmer's markets seem to go hand in hand, but don't you wish they had wine available for purchase?  Well that's just what you'll find at Fort Mason this weekend during the San Francisco Vintner's Market on Saturday and Sunday, April 10 and 11.

A $30 entrance fee will get you access to domestic wine regions like Napa, Paso Robles, and Santa Barbara to various international imports.  At a multitude of price points, you'll find your favorite wines, new releases, and treasures for the cellar.  Better still, sample from over 200 wineries and buy a bottle, or four, to take home with you.

Got a question about a particular favorite? Folks from the winery will be on hand to answer questions.  Don't have time to head to the wine country to visit small, artisan wineries?  No worries, they're all at Fort Mason this weekend!  Got a small budget and looking for a really nice bottle of wine but not sure what to get?  Experiment and sample from a ginormous wine selection!

Special guests will also be in attendance: Jean Charles Boisset, named 2008 Innovator of the Year by Wine Enthusiast and owner of JCB and DeLoach Vineyards; Craig MacLean, Master Winemaker for JAQK Cellars; Chef Mattin Noblia of Iluna Basque; and wine country artist Ann Rea, are some of the highlights.

So come on out this weekend and enjoy this unique experience.  Save time by purchasing your tickets in advance at http://sfvintnersmarket.eventbrite.com


When you need to take a break between tastings, step outside and watch the sailboats play between Alcatraz and Angel Island on our beloved city by the bay.

Until next time,
Salud!
