The region's premier wine and food festival returns Saturday, June 29 with another epic line up of wineries and food purveyors.

Sip and savor 100+ of the Central Coast's best wineries and culinary delights while enjoying the Museum's beautiful, creekside setting under majestic redwoods and oak trees.

New this year, we'll be expanding the festival to the revamped Museum Backyard and Sprague Butterfly Pavilion. The VIP Lounge area across the creek will be double the size, and all guests will have more room to roam, sip, and nosh!
