CALIFORNIA’S FAMOUS WINERIES… always have something bubbling, or perhaps “fizzing” is more ebulliently apt. Uplifting events, interesting educational outings, and social-ready celebrations frequently fill a vineyard’s calendar, even in the winter and spring. But it is during the later part of summer, and the start of fall, when Harvest-happy festivities begin to energetically up the sparkle factor. September is California Wine Month<\/a> and grape-growing destinations, from Northern California to storied spots close to San Diego, will beckon oenophiles with a host of diversions. Those intriguing offerings might be of the learning variety, but there are some let-loose larks on the roster, too, including the chance to zipline at Santa Margarita Ranch and stomp grapes at Bella Vista Winery in Temecula.<\/p>\n

SOME OF THE 2026 FESTIVITIES… are taking place every day, or nearly, depending on the wineries, but other parties are landing on specific dates. A Cookie Pairing Experience with Alexander Valley Vineyards in Healdsburg is spanning September, while a Vinyl Night at Darcie Kent Estate Winery in Livermore will spin some sweet sounds Sept. 12. Other tempting to-dos festooning the line-up at various wineries include a paella-themed evening, a pilates session, harvest dinners, special wine releases, and the Capitola Art & Wine Festival, which is raising spirits over the second weekend of September. Paso Robles, Sonoma, and Goleta are dotting the 2026 map, so pause to find the wine-and-food-inspired events<\/a> closest to you. <\/p>\n
