If you’re looking for some Central Coast fun the weekend of
June 22, the Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival may be just the ticket.
Technically, the kickoff event will be on the evening of Wednesday the 20th
with a showing of Gigi at the Performing
Arts Center. On Friday the Mayor and Kiwanis host a winemaker’s dinner,
featuring nearly three dozen local wineries and benefiting city and Kiwanis
Club services. The social hour/tasting will begin at five that evening. Both
live and silent auctions will be part of the evening. Dinner is served at 6:30
with tickets costing $75 per person or a table for six at $425. Proceeds will
aid in completing the bandstand at the lake, community services and youth
scholarships.
Saturday morning a golf outing benefitting The Link Resource
Center will tee off at 8:30 and held at the Chalk Mountain course. The Link
aids families and youth in the area. Lunch is included in the package, priced
at $420 for a group of four or $250 for two which includes tickets to the
festival. Those not able to attend the festival can purchase tourney tickets at
a reduced rate. Details are given from the festival home page noted below.
The afternoon’s main event will run from 4 to 8 at
Atascadero Lake Park and provide food from at least ten local chefs in addition
to as many as 80 wineries pouring for your tasting pleasure. Art from a variety
of mediums and styles will also be shown at the event. The Charles Paddock Zoo
and community projects will be beneficiaries of ticket sales. The cost is $50
and a link to ticket information is on the atascaderowinefestival.org home
page. Save $5 if you purchase by June 10th.
