Don’t miss the chance to visit small wineries, sample new releases, chat with vintners and find out what makes the Santa Cruz Mountains winegrowing district utterly unique and distinctive.
So – to do that – you need to get some tickets ($40 per) for the 24th Annual Vintners’ Festival, AKA Roots that Rock. They’re available online. Not only winery touring, but your ticket also gives you access to the Downtown Santa Cruz Street Fair – June 9, on Pacific Avenue (between Locust and Walnut Streets), where you’ll rock to music, artisan foods, more wines and loads of live entertainment.
So if you’d like to tour the wineries on the “other side of the hill” – plan to hop in the car the weekend of June 1 & 2, from noon to 5pm.
And to tour the participating wineries in Santa Cruz County, get set for the weekend of June 8 & 9, and then head over to the June 9 street fair from 11am until 3pm.
All you really have to remember is “the best locally-made wine” – and those two weekends of tasting. The intel on the SCMWA website will walk you through the rest.
Salut!
