The annual Celebration of Harvest
is held in October each year, when we're in the thick of the winegrape
harvest and winery staff take a needed break to showcase their latest
wines, many newly bottled! This year's Celebration of Harvest
will be held on October 1oth from 1 to 4pm, and once again on the
beautiful grounds of Rancho Sisquoc Winery in the Santa Maria Valley.
Tickets are now on sale for $65 per person in
advance ($75 at the door).
Local restaurants, caterers and food suppliers
will showcase their talents and produce by providing delicious samples.
Live music from several bands will keep our toes tapping. An important
part of the Celebration of Harvest is the Silent Auction - your
chance to own some very special bottles of wine. And as it’s
always a great idea to include a designated driver in your party,
we will also offer a special designated driver ticket. DD’s
enjoy the event, complete with all the food, the entertainment,
non-alcoholic beverages and our sincere thanks for keeping our roads
safe. Or, a lot of folks will leave the driving to us and take the
bus! Festival buses will bring visitors directly to the Festival
grounds, and return them to the pickup location at the end of the
day.
The Vintners’ Visa is
a four-day pass to 12 participating wineries, each of whom will
pull out all the stops just for Vintners’ Visa holders. The
Vintners' Visa can be used at participating wineries from Friday
through Monday, so make it a long weekend!
In addition to the Celebration itself, and the
special treats offered through the Vintners’ Visa, many member
wineries will host special events - from winemaker dinners to Open
Houses to tours and tastings at wineries not generally open to the
public, there'll be a full slate of events during the long weekend.
