Best Wine Tasting Events/Festivals

You know, Aspen has the Food & Wine Festival, and we have some good ones too! These are ranked in order. If you know of more let me know. Specifically they have to offer food and wine and don't give me those cheesy street fairs.Food on a stick is not food. ;-)

1. What: Fall Fest - benefiting Meals on Wheels. This is the BEST wine and food event the city has to offer - hands down. It's a bit pricey, but worth it.
Where: Justin Herman Plaza
Website:http://sffallfest.eventbrite.com/

Always occurs during Fleet Week.
Local Winemakers | Leading Restaurateurs | Epicurean Artisans | Eco Experts | Mixologists | Live Music | And More...


2. What: High on the Hog
Where: Epic Roasthouse
Website: http://sanfrancisco.going.com/event-766085;EPIC_Roasthouses_2nd_Annual_High_on_the_Hog_Event

Always in June. What is there not to love about the pig and pinot noir? And, the most delicious bacon ice cream- ever!

Bacon ice cream??? Interesting.

I don't know much about it, but I just found this Napa Valley event calendar, which could be helpful as well for those of you who are willing to make the drive...

Awesome, sounds like a great event that with a great partner charity (Meals on Wheels, if you haven't read it).

If I weren't out of town, I would consider signing up just to find out what an "Eco Cocktail" competition is. Hmm...

That's okay, keep it mind for next year. It's always the weekend that kicks off Fleet Week in SF.

Aaaah, Fleet Week. I remember that from New York - how fun! There's even a Sex and the City episode about it - although I didn't know there was one in SF, as well...

@StephSF - oh yeah, they hit ALL the big cities. Be prepared from October 9th- 15th and you'll not only see Navy boys but also the Blue Angels.

@StephSF - the Blue Angels are the pilots that perform tricks in the air with their airplanes.
