The 13th Annual Barbera Festival hits Folsom on Saturday, August 29, 2026! 🍇

Pre-Release ticket sales are almost gone!! Use code “WINE” right now to slash an extra $10 off each ticket. 🎟️

Think this event is just for red wine lovers?? Barbera is used in light, juicy reds, chilled rosés, and amazing craft blends. It’s high-acid, low-tannin, and pairs ridiculously well with food, making it the ultimate crowd pleaser!

So many Barberas come from the Sierra foothills!! This collection of bottles was of LOCAL Barberas from ONE store. 🍷
