The 2018 festival features wines from 16 countries. There is a focus on a different region or country every year; the featured region has its own section in the tasting room and offers thematic seminars and food and wine pairings throughout the week. In 2018, the festival is celebrating wines from Iberian Peninsula neighbours, Spain (with 38 wineries) and Portugal (with 20 wineries).

Guest: Nikki Callaway, Winemaker at Quails' Gate winery. She’s got two bottles of her wine to taste!
