Below are some specifics about Saturday’s main events provided by ZAP.
Grand Tasting at Pier 27: Saturday, January 20, 2018 All-Day // 11:00 am – 5:00 pm An all-day pass offers access to reserve, limited production wines that are not available to taste anywhere else at the events. This ultimate tasting experience includes an expanded selection of sumptuous samples from restaurants and winery chefs, the chance to socialize with friends, and connect with winemakers. Cost: ZAP members $150, public $180.
Meet the Maker Roundtables // 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm This is speed dating for wine lovers. These short sessions provide guests and the winemaker an opportunity to get to know each other in a fun and informal setting. With only a handful of people seated around the table, the winemaker shares their wine and tells stories about how it was made. Guests are encouraged to ask questions and discover new ways to enjoy Zinfandel. Cost: This experience is complimentary with ticket purchase. Onsite registration only.
