FEBRUARY 7 & 8, 2025

The 11th Southern Exposure Garagiste Festival is returning to the quaint town of Solvang in February 2025 to give you rare access to the region's best small, hard-to-find winemakers. At this engaging event, you will discover and taste amazing, cutting-edge wines from our roster of high-quality, micro-production, commercial wineries from all over California’s Central Coast.

We be pouring Caliza Winery wines on Friday night at the Rare & Reserve Kick-Off Party, and our second label, End Of The Day Wines on Saturday at the Grand Tasting!
