YOUR GUIDE TO VEGAN-FRIENDLY URBAN WINE TASTING
No one would dispute that California has one of the best climates in America—maybe even the world—providing us with an incredible place to live … and one other important benefit, phenomenal wine.
Sipping is only half the journey, the other half being the experience itself–learning a wine’s unique history, educating yourself on the difference between a chardonnay and pinot gris, and slowing down to partake in the art of the taste. For this, you must go wine tasting.
From Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, you’ll find lots of urban wine opportunities to help you create your very own tasting adventure.
First, a quick word about the winemaking process: Winemakers commonly use fining agents to remove unwanted substances and achieve a certain color, clarity, or taste.
Often, these agents include egg whites, casein (a milk protein), bone fragments, and fish bladder. For the plant-based wine-drinking consumer, finding wine that is actually vegan can be a challenge.
Current labeling laws do not require any disclosures on wine, beer, or liquors
