Find Your Flavor!
Do you prefer velvety-rich wines from legendary old-vine Zinfandel producers? Elegant smooth styles from newly emerging Zinfandel winemakers, or do you have a long time favorite and want to visit with the winemaker..again?  ZinEX has got you covered!

Join us for a three-day wine and food extravaganza attracting wine lovers from around the world at one of a handful of festivals dedicated to a single-grape varietal. As a VIP you will experience the classic character of Zinfandel at four extraordinary events over the three days.  Kicking off on Thursday with a VIP-only Opening Night Dinner, the next day features two events:  a VIP-only tasting seminar with the winemakers in the afternoon followed by an evening extravaganza Auction and Winemaker Dinner where you mingle and dine with the winemaker. Saturday rounds out the weekend with an all-day ticket to the Grand Tasting, featuring over 100 wines, all represented by the people who make them. VIP attendees of ZinEX 2024 get full access to winemakers and principals at all the events.  The VIP package also includes  access to the VIP Heritage Club Lounge at the Grand Tasting, hotel accommodations, entrance to all of these events and a Heritage Club membership to ZAP.

An increasing number are also verifying practices with sustainable certifications such as California Certified Sustainable Winegrowing (CCSW), Lodi Rules, SIP Certified and Napa Green.
