“For most of the 19th century, California wine meant wine grown and produced in Los Angeles,”
…says Jasper Dickson, winemaker and co-founder of Angeleno…
“So many people think Los Angeles is a new, up and coming wine region, but it’s actually California’s original wine country,”…
….referring to the city’s little known wine history, “and this event gives us and our fellow LA Vintners a chance to show angelenos the incredible diversity and true potential of Los Angeles terroir.”

About The Los Angeles Vintners Association
The Los Angeles Vintners Association is dedicated to reviving and revitalizing the rich history of Los Angeles winemaking, and highlighting the true potential of Los Angeles terroir. Through our events, campaigns and fundraisers, LA Vintners works to bring Los Angeles wine, and the region’s extensive wine history to Angelenos throughout the area. This includes preservation efforts of significant historical sites, protection of natural resources, and the overall sharing and enjoyment of Los Angeles wine culture.
About Angeleno Wine Company
With a focus on unique varietals, Angeleno Wine Co aims to push the boundaries of what Southern California wine growing can be. We work with small vineyards in the beautiful, remote corners of Los Angeles County such as Agua Dulce and the Antelope Valley. We only work with vineyards that farm sustainably and we source our grapes from land that is special for different reasons. Tannat, Graciano, Godello, Loureiro, Treixadura and Alicante Bouschet are some of the unique varietals that Angeleno makes into wine every year. We harvest early to preserve natural acidity in the fruit. Our wines are naturally made and 100% vegan. We strive to make wines that are elegant, balanced and that express Los Angeles’ unique character: a growing region where the desert meets the sea.
About Byron Blatty Wines
Byron Blatty produces limited-edition, handcrafted red wines that feature sustainably farmed, family-owned vineyards in Los Angeles County. With an annual production of 800 cases, the winery works with small lots of as many as fourteen different varietals from vineyards all over Los Angeles, to create complex red blends, as well as a rosé, and its first white wine which is scheduled for release in fall 2020. Byron Blatty is available through the winery’s website, select restaurants and wine bars, and boutique wine shops in the greater Los Angeles area. If terroir is a sense of place and the expression of its character, Los Angeles has never been expressed this way before.
About Cavaletti Vineyards
