Oenophiles be on alert: many great vineyards and wine distributors will be gathering in Cupertino this Thursday. Though Campbell’s limited-capacity Wine Walk sold out well in advance, Cupertino’s Food & Wine Stroll offers South Bay denizens another chance to sup on the move this week. Taking place at Main Street by the former Vallco Mall (RIP), the Stroll features vins and varietals from near and far, including celebrated locals like Vidovich Vineyards and Testarossa, as well as imported favorites from RiBevi Italian Wines and more. Wristbands available for wine and food, or just food.

If you love wine and live in the South Bay, 2020 is shaping up to be a very good year. The San Francisco Wine School is bringing its most popular classes to the wine tavern Enoteca La Storia in downtown San Jose. To kick things off, January’s class is titled “Tasting, Chemistry and Flaws,” and is all about developing blind-tasting techniques, using wine vocabulary properly and learning how to assess balance between sugar, tannins and acid. From there, aspiring wine snobs can expect a new workshop every month on viticulture, wine regions and food pairing.

The Los Altos Art & Wine Festival is back for its 39th year, bringing handcrafted jewelry, sculpture, paintings, live music, food—and, of course, vino—to downtown Los Altos. At the event, 290 artists and artisans from all over the country will take over Main and State streets while locals sip, stroll and enjoy tunes courtesy of Doobie Brothers tribute band Long Train Runnin’. It’s a family-friendly event, and youngsters are invited to partake in a variety of activities, including rides and arts and crafts in the Kidzone. Parking is free and cyclists can take advantage of the bike valet. The event runs through Sunday.
