Join us for the 3rd annual Alternative Tastes Wine Fest, a celebration of Paso Robles’ rare and remarkable grape varieties, returning March 28, 2026. The Grand Tasting Experience at Pavilion on the Lake in Atascadero kicks off in spectacular fashion with an educational seminar and blind tasting.

Presented by CRUSH Vineyard, Alternative Tastes shines a spotlight on 25+ boutique winemakers crafting wines from unique California grape varieties—with fewer than 1,000 acres planted statewide.
