This year’s Outside Lands festival, taking place August 14 and 15 in Golden Gate Park, is showcasing more than just big bands — Kings of Leon, Al Green, Phoenix, and The Strokes among them. It also features what the festival’s organizers are billing — probably accurately — as “the most extensive wine tasting to be found at a U.S. music festival.”
The festival’s Wine Lands will consist of a a large tent in the park, where wine-thirsty festival-goers have 75 different wines to choose from. Notables on the list of 25 participating wineries include Ridge, Hess, Bonny Doon, Pine Ridge, and Robert Sinksey, and Berkeley’s A Donkey & Goat winery will be serving up its Mendocino Grenache in a keg.
Wines will be sold by the taste and by the glass. For more information, visit http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/wine.
