Celebration Of Harvest

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 11th from 1 to 4pm, and once again on the beautiful grounds of Rancho Sisquoc Winery in the Santa Maria Valley.

Local restaurants, caterers and food suppliers showcase their talents and produce by providing delicious samples. Live music from several bands keeps your 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 also offer a special designated driver ticket. DD’s can enjoy the event, complete with all the food, the entertainment, non-alcoholic beverages and our sincere thanks for keeping our roads safe. Or, leave the driving to us and take the bus! Festival buses will bring you directly to the Festival grounds, and return to the pickup location at the end of the day. Sorry, health department regulations prohibit pets at the Festival.

Be sure to take in the sights, sounds, smells and excitement of harvest by extending your stay for a few days. The Vintners’ Visa is a four-day pass to 12 participating wineries, each of whom are pulling out all the stops just for Vintners’ Visa holders. The Vintners' Visa can be used at participating wineries from can be used Friday, October 10th through Monday, October 13th, so make it a long weekend! And for the full celebratory mode, (and for a great deal!), order a “combo ticket” which gives you access to the Festival at Rancho Sisquoc and a Vintners’ Visa!
