Uncorked festival comes to Metreon
Toast to the first Uncorked: San Francisco wine festival, which boasts more than 100 wines, sparkling wine and more, set for Saturday, June 25, at City View at Metreon.
A VIP hour starts at 1 p.m. that includes a few special wine selections, followed by a general admission session that runs from 2 to 5 p.m. A second general admission session is from 6 to 9 p.m. Food will be sold separately by El Porteno, Cheese Plus, Rainy Day Chocolates, First Crush Restaurant, Tamales La Oaxaquena, Drake’s Bay Oysters and the Grilled Cheese Guy. Festivalgoers can also shop at an international wine market and artisanal food bazaar.
A portion of the proceeds go to the San Francisco Yellow Bike Project, a nonprofit organization whose volunteers refurbish bicycles for reuse in the city.
The festival is also hosted in other cities, and there are already plans to return for Uncorked: San Francisco II on Nov. 11.
