Savor the Central Coast
Can you believe it? Another Central Coast food and wine event to look forward to! And boy, am I looking forward to this one. First, I love Santa Margarita Ranch. It’s such a fabulous venue for events like this. The Earth Day Food and Wine Festival, one of my all-time favorite Central Coast Events, was held at the ranch the past two years and the beautiful scenery really makes the day special. Even though you’re not far from the 101 freeway, it truly feels like a “getaway.” Winding your way up the secluded drive, past the creek to the ranch, you are bound to hear ”oohs” and “ahhs” from first time visitors. The barn lit up with “fairy” lights is magical and the fact that stays nice and cool inside is just an extra bonus. You know the real reason I’m looking so forward to this event…of course, what is life without great food and wine? How about four days of great food and wine? I don’t know about you, but I’m checking out the event calendar and marking mine!
