UNFILTERED WINE FESTIVAL
2026-07-26 12:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Donkey & Goat Winery, 1340 5th Street, Berkeley, CA, 94710, United States
Unfiltered: A Celebration of Wine on the Edge
Saturday, July 25 & Sunday, July 26, 2026
Hosted at Donkey & Goat Winery · Berkeley, CA
60 of the region’s most dynamic natural and low‑intervention winemakers. The festival brings together the full spectrum of winemaking, from small, avant‑garde producers pushing boundaries to long‑standing legacy wineries that have shaped their regions for decades.
Panel discussions throughout the weekend invite deeper dialogue, offering insight into the philosophies, challenges, and innovations shaping the future of wine and the culture it supports. Local chefs provide tasty bites, and ambient vinyl sets the tone for an intimate, engaging experience.
Capacity is intentionally limited to foster connection, discovery, and conversation. Leading up to the festival, Unfiltered‑related events featuring participating winemakers will take place throughout the Bay Area.
‘Unfiltered: A Celebration of Wine on the Edge’ is building on last year’s success, and working closely with Bay Area retailers with the goal of converting festival visibility into measurable shelf presence and distribution for small producers and legacy wineries. This event is about building continuity for independent wineries.
Industry Tasting: 12:00–1:00 PM
General Admission: 1:00–5:00 PM
After Party: Sat & Sun 6:00 PM–9:00 PM at Vintage Berkeley (Vine Street Store)

LODI GRAPE FESTIVAL
2026-09-17, 2026-09-18, 2026-09-19, 2026-09-20 | Lodi Grape Festival Grounds, 413 E Lockeford St, Lodi, CA, United States
The Lodi Winegrape Commission is a proud sponsor of the Lodi Grape Festival.
Once every year during harvest, Lodi grape growing history is brought to life in a big and special way while the Lodi Grape Festival Grounds (413 E Lockeford Street, Lodi) hosts a full-blown carnival, including rides and treats for all ages.
For locals and the ever-expanding crew of folks who have fallen in love with Lodi, the Lodi Grape Festival provides a rare treat: a glimpse into the unique, fascinating history of the Lodi wine region. You really cannot understand Lodi until you attend a Grape Festival. Now more than ever, it is important to teach the story of our beloved grapes to our children and to the world.
Though deep-fried Oreos are amazing in their own right, those of us who treasure Lodi vineyards and wines find greater satisfaction inside the huge Ole Mettler Grape Pavilion at the Festival. Here we step back in time to the days of the original Grape Festival called the Tokay Carnival (1907) and the first years of our Lodi Grape Festival (started in 1934). On display are beautiful handmade gowns of former Lodi Grape Royalty – literally, Grape Festival Queens and their Courts of Grape Festival Princesses. Real, non-digitized photographs of days past spark a warm feeling of nostalgia and resilience (see my favorite photo below and to the left). Local children submit lug boxes of grapes to be judged by experts along with huge traditional grape murals encompassing 8-10,000 grapes each.

Description: Most people are unaware of the damage caused by the Tree of Heaven, both to our agroecosystems and structurally to roads, pipes, and buildings. This invasive, toxic weed is rapidly spreading in farming, industrial, residential, and transit areas across California and it takes a specific technique to remove it from the landscape (cutting it signals the tree to grow new suckers via the huge roots). Kyle will teach us how to safely remove Tree of Heaven plants and colonies using a tool called the EZ-Ject Lance, which will be available to rent from the Lodi Winegrape Commission.
RSVP: To the Lodi Winegrape Commission by phone 209.367.4727 or email info@lodiwine.com.
