GRENACHE FEST – Cimento Wines
Grenache Fest is coming to Waitsburg, Washington, bringing with it a focused, celebratory spotlight on one of the world’s most important and expressive grapes. Waitsburg’s proximity to the Walla Walla Valley makes it an obvious choice. Add to that the charm of an entire town block on the National Register of Historic Places and an enclave of artists and artisans, and the event feels right at home!
Grenache Fest was created to champion Grenache in all its forms, from elegant and savory to bold and powerful, while fostering authentic connections between winemakers, the trade, media, and passionate consumers. The festival has quickly earned a reputation for blending serious wine conversation with an approachable, convivial atmosphere that mirrors the spirit of the grape itself.
The 2026 Waitsburg edition will be smaller than in previous years, so as not to overwhelm this beautiful small town.
- This year’s featured entertainment: M. Ward, Local Heros, Low Plains Drifter
This year, we will start with a blind tasting seminar hosted by MJ Towler, Chauncey Arkfeld, Will Marengo, and Michael Alberty, followed by smaller breakout sessions across town.
- The Grand Tasting will feature 30 Grenache producers, along with a DJ and food trucks.
