Local winemakers came together Friday for an annual event in Downtown Sacramento to help promote their products and boost sales.
This year's California Grand Tasting, an annual event sponsored by Visit Sacramento, recognizes the importance of the wine industry across the region.
But this celebration of wine comes at a challenging time for vintners.
California ag officials estimate there are currently 540,000 acres of wine grapes being grown across the state. But that's down 12% from just two years ago.
"You've got so many different factors that are impacting everything that we do," said Jill Osur, owner of Teneral Cellars.
"We cannot pass on the cost of the tariffs and all of that," Osur said. "People wouldn't spend that much money, but we're being impacted by that."
She says they have removed some older vines, but that's making room for varieties that are more popular.
Winemakers say events like this help them connect with local consumers and it's an opportunity to stress the importance of shopping local.
In past years, grape growers have also had to deal with the drought and wildfire smoke, but they say those have not been big issues so far this year.
