Event Overview

The Golden Glass Event, Slow Food San Francisco’s annual fundraiser, will mark its 7th year anniversary with an impressive display of over 100 imported sustainable & regional wine producers, complemented by an exclusive sampling from the Bay Area’s top restaurants and artisanal producers. The Golden Glass will, once again, prove to be a lively gastronomic and educational event, a uniquely San Francisco experience…and a decidedly “SLOW” afternoon savoring all that we enjoy here in the Bay Area. The Golden Glass Event is open to press, trade, Slow Food members and consumers.
