Zinfandel Experience,

About the event

“This is a one-of-a-kind celebration of all things Zinfandel,” said Chris Leamy, Winemaker at Terra d’Oro Winery and ZAP President. “For one weekend each year, wine enthusiasts are able to taste hundreds of Zinfandel styles from all of California’s growing regions. There’s simply nothing else like it.”

ZinEX brings winemakers and enthusiasts together to showcase Zinfandel’s classic character. The weekend’s main event is Saturday’s Grand Tasting where attendees meet winemakers during the most comprehensive showing of Zinfandels and blends in the world. This ultimate tasting experience includes a selection of sumptuous samples from restaurants and winery chefs and opportunities to experience face-to-face tastings with celebrity winemakers. The spacious open floor plan and panoramic views of the bay create a perfect backdrop for getting to know Zinfandel.

“Zinfandel Experience is designed to entertain, enlighten and delight wine enthusiasts from around the world,” said Rebecca Robinson, ZAP’s Executive Director. “It’s a weekend of sophisticated experiences that honors all that is Zinfandel.”

Why should you sponsor?

ZinEX is the only three-day event devoted entirely to Zinfandel and takes place in three stunning San Francisco locations: One Market, Bently Reserve and Pier 27.

Zinfandel Experience printed event programs contain valuable information wineries & attendees are looking for - including listing of participating wineries, wines presented, tasting notes, maps and schedules. Every winery & attendee has access to a program, refers to it often during the events and takes it home, providing long lasting advertising exposure. Placing your ad in these programs is an excellent way to promote your company.
