Art & Wine Festivals

Cheers! Prost! Gun bae!
Welcome to the Art and Wine Festivals page, where we’ve listed the dates of the many 2012 South Bay and nearby art and wine (and related) festivals chronologically.
We first created a Silicon Valley art and wine festivals list on Andy’s blog, and it proved to be quite a helpful resource.
We’ll continue to update this list. Please do leave a comment on what we’re missing, and we’ll be sure to include it.

Los Altos’ Art in the Park show is a smaller show but typically has very good artists. It is May 19-20
Looks to be a great fine art show, plus for great causes. Definitely added to the list. Thank you.
