You Can Get Free Tastings at These California Wineries This October
Last year, I first heard about the Jackson Family Wine group’s initiative, Come Over October, and am excited to share that they’re doing it again this year. Many of the California wineries in their portfolio are participating and (just like the good ol’ days) offering free wine tastings to visitors during the month of October. Below is a list of my favorite wineries in California who are participating, along with details and links to make yourself a reservation. You can find even more details and a full list (including some in Oregon) on their website.
