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 9th from 1 to 4pm, and once again on the
beautiful grounds of Rancho Sisquoc Winery in the Santa Maria Valley.
Local restaurants, caterers and specialty food
purveyors will showcase their talents and the bounty of Santa Barbara
County, while live and lively bands will fill the air with music.
Add to that the silent auction, filled with specialty wines and
large format bottles from members of the Vintners’ Association
to benefit local food banks, and we definitely have a reason to
Celebrate Harvest!
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 through
Monday 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! Click here
