The success of the 2006 Urban Wine Experience, which attracted a capacity crowd of 600 patrons, only confirmed that the East Bay community is a melting pot for great food as well as wine. Those looking for an exciting variety of wine styles will be enamored by this event, as it promises to feature over 50 wines from the fourteen EBVA wineries. East Bay restaurateurs will be serving summer hors d'oeuvres carefully selected to pair with EBVA wines. The celebration of East Bay excellence will also include a live performance by local musicians.
Since their formation, the Alliance has received national coverage in magazines such as Wine & Spirits and has been locally recognized as the Best New Wine Country. By promoting the urban winemaking community in the East Bay, the fourteen premium wineries hope to continue to build their reputation in their own backyard as producers of superior quality wines.
