The Festival of Undiscovered Grapes

On Saturday, January 31, 2026, the Festival of Undiscovered Grapes brings together some of California’s most innovative winemakers to showcase unique, off-the-beaten-path varieties that rarely make it onto standard menus. Be sure to stop by Alamitos Vineyard — San José’s vineyard destination, and while you’re in town for the festival visit Coterie Winery after festival hours. A local favorite, Coterie offers small-lot, thoughtfully crafted wines in a relaxed, welcoming tasting room.
