As gateway to the world-renowned vineyards of Central and Northern California, Santa Clarita knows and loves its wine! The fourth edition of the Loose Goose Wine Festival is set for October 2 to 5, and with up to 100 different wineries expected, local “lovers of the grape” have plenty to look forward to.  Welcoming an estimated 7,500 guests over its four-day period last year, the Festival has emerged as Southern California’s largest wine encounter!

Santa Clarita provides the perfect setting for four days of extraordinary wine experiences. 

Pre-event wine pairing dinners, a lively wine and cigar themed golf tournament and the glamorous Golden Goose Gala – (the ultra-secret location is revealed to ticket holders the day of the event!) set the stage for the amazing Main Weekend Festival, October 4 and 5, at Valencia Bridgeport Park. 

Promising varietals for every taste, guests can sample from a tantalizing assortment of wines from exceptional wineries, each selected by “The Goose” (founder Peter Goossens) himself.  Participants represent an eclectic mix of large, medium, boutique and up-and-coming domestic and international wineries.  Lavish Old-World European décor – canopied tents and thousands of yards of richly hued fabric – creates a romantic and unforgettable setting. 

Make a day…or night of it!  Along with unlimited wine tasting, the Festival presents a captivating array of luxury-related vendors, fantastic food, brilliant musical entertainment, celebrity guests and amazing wine-focused demonstrations. 
A limited number of luxury products and services and fine food vendor opportunities are still available.  Please contact vendors@loosegoosewinefestival.com.

Sponsor opportunities are welcomed.  Please contact Peter Goossens at 661-799-WINE (9463) for additional information.
Prepare your senses for total captivation, and watch for enticing new additions to this year’s event!  There’ll be so much to taste, see, do and enjoy. Just what you’d expect from Southern California’s largest and most engaging wine encounter…and it’s all right here in Santa Clarita!
