Celebrate White Wine
This February, the breathtaking landscapes of the Anderson Valley will transform into a haven for white wine aficionados, hosting an event that celebrates these elegant wines in all their forms.
Unlike typical wine tastings that spotlight specific grapes or regions, the International White Wine Festival embraces a variety of white wines, offering a refreshing twist for connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
Wine Drinking Trends
A noticeable shift in wine drinking habits has been observed lately, with white wines surging in popularity as red wines decline in favor.
Reports from San Francisco dining spots suggest discerning drinkers are now choosing wines like Sancerre over traditional favorites such as Cabernet Sauvignon.
Event Information
The festival, now rebranded from its previous identity as the Alsace Varieties Festival, broadens its scope to showcase an extensive range of white wines.
On Saturday, the festival will host a grand tasting event where guests can sample an impressive assortment of white wines from more than 40 California wineries, along with selections from France, Germany, Austria, Spain, and even Mexico.
The experience will be further enhanced with gourmet offerings from local food vendors and the lively sounds of music, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere.
