Building upon the success of its inaugural experience last January, Wine Speak is set to return once again with an all-star cast of master sommeliers, wine industry leaders and hospitality professionals on January 7-10, 2019. Wine Speak is a trade-focused experience geared toward fostering community and collaboration within the global wine industry. The main events take place at the Atascadero City Hall in the heart of the Paso Robles wine country, with additional events and technical tours happening around the region.

"This one will be even better, and our aim remains the same: to create a premier ALL-STAR CAST OF MASTER SOMMELIERS & WINEMAKERS TO STEER WINE SPEAK 2019 Community & Camaraderie on the Central Coast experience for wine industry professionals to grow and learn together."
