Someone once said to us that a wine festival is like a liquid passport that takes you to some of the most amazing wineries. And looks like we are about to get a liquid passport to more than 100 of Cali’s best wineries. Because California Wines is bringing back its wine tasting event to Toronto this May. Fellow cork dorks, gear up for EUREKA: The California Wine Discovery!
The wine-derful event will go down at the heritage Beanfield Centre at Exhibition Place on Monday, May 8th, 2023.
For those not in the know, EUREKA: A California Wine Discovery, is an educational and immersive walk-through wine tasting event. Think of it as an exploratory trip to California Wine Country, only you can do it right here in Toronto.
Here’s what you can expect to do during this two-and-a-half-hour experience-
Wine Tasting
It is a wine extravaganza with so many exciting wineries to explore. You can sample more than 400 wines from 100 different wineries across California. Sounds like an excellent plan, doesn’t it?
Experience the Wine Lifestyle
The event also has a fun courtyard experience in store called the Jackson Family Wines Sensory Garden. This is where you can experience the California lifestyle firsthand while trying out sustainably grown wines and small bites from one of Cali’s finest wineries, Kendall-Jackson.
Discover the Regions
The California Regional Table is where your true Wine Country exploration begins. Discover the many regions- Napa, Sonoma, Lodi, Paso Robles and Central Coast- one sip and one wine at a time. This is also where you can meet Toronto’s up-and-coming sommeliers.
Learn the styles
If your wine knowledge harbours on the ‘hmmm, red indeed’ end, you’re in luck. California’s Pop-up Consumer Wine School is where you can learn more about the varietals and styles coming out of the vineyards of the Golden State.
