The Wine Tasting Experience

Discover California Wine at the Mountain View Art and Wine Festival

Go beyond the traditional festival wine garden and step into an exclusive Wine Tasting Experience in the heart of the 54th Annual Mountain View Art and Wine Festival.

This curated tasting brings together 8 boutique and heritage wineries at a time, giving guests the opportunity to explore an exceptional collection of wines from across California while meeting some of the vintners and winemakers behind the bottles.

From crisp whites and refreshing roses to expressive Pinot Noirs, bold Cabernet Sauvignons and distinctive small production varietals, the Wine Tasting Experience is designed for seasoned wine enthusiasts and wine curious guests alike. Discover new favorites, learn about the winemaking process and explore the vineyards, regions and stories that make every pour unique.

Each ticket includes an event wine tasting glass and tasting passport to guide you through the experience. Participating wineries and available wines vary by day, making Saturday and Sunday each a unique tasting experience.
