Tickets for the June 8 3rd annual Barbera Festival at Cooper Ranch in Plymouth go on sale March 1.

The first two years were sellouts, with more than 2,000 attendees taking part each year.

This summer’s alfresco event, scheduled from 11am to 4pm, will include more than 80 wineries from the Sierra Foothills, Paso Robles, Napa, Sonoma, Lake County, the Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, Lodi, Livermore and the Bay Area, as well as many of the region’s top restaurants and catering companies.

Also consistent with the first two events will be the works of artists and artisans, including jewelry, paintings, pottery and metal work – all displayed in tents throughout the festival and adjacent to participating wineries.

Today, nearly 200 California wineries produce Barbera wines.

Tickets will be available March 1 and are $40/person in advance. Ticket price includes admittance, wine tasting, commemorative wine glass and free on-site parking. Food is sold separately. This is a non-smoking event and can accommodate service pets only at this time. There is also a special Designated Drive ticket for $20/person in advance, which includes event admittance and free non-alcoholic beverages.
