The Small Guys Festival is rockin’ it out with the Garagistes!
We had so much fun the first time we're doing it again - !
You’ve heard of the little gems, the boutique wineries, the cult followings and the maverick winemakers, but they are often hard to find or to get to. Now we showcase the small case lot artisan wines commercially produced–all gathered in one spot. What’s a garagiste (GAR-aH-jeest )? — It’s a label coined in France to indicate those who stepped outside the lines and broke the rules, taking risks and making small case lots or micro cuvees in their ‘garage’. We think you’ll agree that some interesting things are happening at the front edge of winemaking with these passionate winemakers and growers.
2019 brings you the event to sample these hard to find wines
Kelowna August 18th 2-4:40 PM The Small Producers Festival will be in Kelowna.
These events are organized by Garagiste North. It was born out of many conversations with small producers who are faced with the difficult realites of getting their wines to the public, and wine lovers who are always looking for those interesting and unique producers but often have difficulty finding them. It seemed like a perfect solution, and a great way to spend an afternoon or evening.
Hope you'll join the party!
Only Six Days to Vancouver's Event!
Our thanks for the wonderful support and enthusism of the Vancouver Media....here's a few postings.
