I would have never found this one if it hadn’t been for Unilocal Events! Thanks to whoever posted it! This was definitely a great girls day out. We opted for the VIP tickets because in my wine expo/tasting experience, it is worth the extra cost. The VIP room had 3 food pairings throughout the event. This is always nice because I always learn something from talking to the wine makers or Sommeliers. For instance, I learned that Riesling and BBQ pairs well together. Mind Blown! But you had to be in the VIP room to try and then you’ll see why it works. The VIP room also had unlimited cheese, fruits, and crackers. You can’t been that. If you are tasting over 100+ wines you will need all the snacks you can get. If it wren’t for the VIP room, you would have had to bring your own snacks OR buy it at the concession stand, which adds up. Needless to say I am always an advocate of going to this things with the VIP tickets or serious coordination with other people to bring your own food and get in on a table. Which is like $ 400 for 8 people, however if planned accordingly it could be a lot fun. Wine was not the only thing here! They had all sorts of jewelry, chocolates(liquored chocolates!) and Olive Oil tastings. So. if you needed a break from the wine, there were other things to taste. I was so glad to see some of my favorite Wineries there, as well as meet new favorites. Will definitely look for it next year!
