From one big event to the next one, we're deep in Harvest 2011, making wine for Outside Lands 2012! We had such a great time this year tasting wine with everyone. So much fun. For those of you who didn't get enough, we're excited to offer you the ability to do the one thing you couldn't do at Wine Lands: take a bottle home with you. Finally! For a limited time, you can purchase any of the wines served at Wine Lands, and we can even ship wine to those in far away Lands. Which means that everyone, wherever they are, can keep that glass rocking until next year. Until we meet again.

It was a watershed year for Outside Lands. There’s not much else to say, but thank you.

“For all its awesomeness, there aren't many things “San Francisco” that can honestly say they embody the complete spirit of this place. 
Sure, certain events, festivals, days of the year, get bits and pieces right here and there. But those “complete” events, festivals or days are rare entities. 

And that isn't a knock on these things because the San Francisco Bay Area as a whole is so rich, thick and diverse that the recipe is a hard one to master. 

But that is where Outside Lands version 2011 is a winner.

Now officially four years old, the music, food, art and wine extravaganza has figured it out - “it” being that a music festival isn't necessarily made awesome by the artists it books, but by whether or not you can book the home-spirit of the place you are borrowing for a couple of days. Accomplishing such a feat was Outside Lands' biggest success.”

- Excerpt from Outside Lands has the Winning Formula from The Daily Journal, August 15th, 2011
