The LAWinefest moved last year from Hollywood to the ROW DTLA at 777 S. Alameda Street - an artsy place that offers plenty of parking.
The festival is often called LA's "Signature Celebration of all Things Wine,”and is the  combination of award-winning wines and artisan beers, but offer also coffee, cider and water.

LAWinefest was founded by DR. Joel Fisher (in red shirt).

LAWinefest was founded by DR. Joel Fisher in 2005 and now in its 13th year. The event became popular in L.A. to bring wine and people together, because it balanced fun and education. Each day include tastings, presentations and seminars or just relax to live music in one of the lounge areas.

Guests savor and discover flavors from around the world, whether a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, well balanced Pinot Noir, or an ice cold innovative craft beer. For wine aficionados who want to experience small-batch pours from boutique wineries, there will be a limited number of daily tickets for tastings at vip lounges.
