Alternative Tastes Feat. Volatus

Join Volatus at this year’s first ever Alternative tastes festival!
Celebrating Paso’s Unique Varieties, a two-day extravagant event makes its debut this June 7th & 8th, 2024 in Paso Robles with the Grand Tasting Experience taking place at Broken Earth Winery.

Presented by Brecon Estate and CRUSH Vineyard, the event features an estimated 30 local boutique winemakers pouring both Albariño and Tannat, two of the top trending varietals on the Central Coast. Albariño hales from the Rias Baixas region of Spain and is exploding in popularity in the U.S. due to its crisp versatility and aromatic qualities. Albariño will be joined by Tannat, the enigmatic, deep-hued, luscious red wine, native to the nearby Pyrenees.

The concept was born out of the highly popular Tannat & Albariño special interest group tastings hosted by Brecon Estate. CRUSH Vineyard, focused on estate-grown Tannat, approached Brecon Estate with a proposal to help combine the events and throw the doors wide open to the public. Hence “Alternative Tastes” was born.
