The Garagiste Festivals

The American garagiste movement received its first exposure in 2011 at the inaugural Garagiste Festival in Paso Robles, California. Paso Robles represents the core of the garagiste movement, according to WinesVinesDATA. It lists some 127 wineries with annual production of 1,000 or fewer cases in Paso’s home county, San Luis Obispo (SLO). Every year dozens of artisan winemakers pour at the non-profit festival. In addition to sold out festivals every November in Paso Robles, the Garagiste Festival has expanded to Santa Ynez Valley with The Garagiste Festival: Southern Exposure.
