Slow Food SF's Golden Glass Wine Event   

The 2010 Golden Glass celebrates over 200 wines by local and international wine producers who strive to protect, nurture, and revive the indigenous and classic varieties of their regions. The wineries will be clustered in designated regional areas throughout Fort Mason Center's Festival Pavilion so that attendees can learn about the regional and terroir nuances from the winemakers themselves.

The Golden Glass features an exciting culinary component, which includes select San Francisco Bay Area restaurants, artisanal producers, and local farmers. Savor the mouth-watering flavors of freshly baked pizzas, grilled meats from local butchers, fresh fruits and vegetables, and rich desserts. Whether organic, sustainably grown, or biodynamic, all food and drink items at The Golden Glass tasting event uphold Slow Food's vision of "good, clean, fair" food.

Proceeds of the event benefit Slow Food San Francisco's Slow Food in School Programs, including school gardens and real school lunches. Founded on the principle of a "good, clean, and fair" food system, Slow Food attempts to undo the damage that today's methods of food production has done on taste and our natural environments through an international exchange of experiences, knowledge, projects. As a Golden Glass attendee and Slow Food supporter, you emphasize the importance of respecting traditional knowledge and taste, providing farmers with fair wages, and attending to the needs of the land.
