MARTIAN RANCH AND VINEYARD
OUT OF THE WAY, OUT OF THE ORDINARY: NOT TO BE MISSED Martian Ranch and Vineyard isn’t located near the top-secret military base known as “Area 51” where (supposedly), evidence of extra-terrestrials (Martians) exist. It is situated in Alisos Canyon, about a 15-minute drive north of the “wine town” of Los Olivos, three miles east of Highway 101 by Los Alamos. This unique property looks nothing like a Martian landscape and in fact, the name “Martian” has nothing to do with Martians; (the name is a blend of the owner’s sons: Martin and Ian). Take time to make the drive down Alisos Canyon, and be rewarded by the bucolic landscape, surrounded by hills, farms and ranches reflecting the beauty of the season. Once you arrive at Martian Ranch and Vineyard, you will be in for a very special experience.
From the Land Comes the Wine Located in an area that is well known growing mostly Rhône varieties, this very distinct piece of property, with varying microclimates, is friendly to not only Rhônes, but also many Spanish varieties such as Tempranillo, Garnacha and Albarino. Martian Ranch grows 11 separate varieties and produces a dozen estate wines, which you may sample in their cozy, friendly tasting room. During your visit, you will taste unique blends, and varietals
8
such as Clairette and Monastrell which are not common to the area. However, don’t come for just a tasting, come for a most unique experience, where you will learn to truly appreciate the wines you are tasting, and why the land and farming practices are so exceptional. To enhance your visit, plan on taking a vineyard tour. Whether your tour is led by Nan Hegeland (owner) or Amanda Herrell (operations manager), you will be amazed at what takes place on the 20 planted acres on this 102-acre ranch. Since the first vines were planted in 2007, Nan has been committed to the concept of Biodynamic® farming. “Biodynamic” in itself often seems to be used as a buzzword. During your vineyard tour you will come to understand that “Biodynamic” farming, put simply, is an intricately woven together tapestry where the earth, environment, weather, flora, fauna, and all elements work in concert together creating a natural dependence for a healthy habitat and ecology. During your vineyard tour, wending your way around and through the vines, Amanda (or Nan) will describe the intricate interactions taking place throughout the year, and how the Biodynamic calendar helps bring the entire farming tapestry together. Don’t be put off by technical or scientific explanations – it will all make perfect sense to you –
Wine Country This Month: Central Coast
MARTIAN FACTS • Vineyard tours by advance appointment only (be sure to look for the red tail hawks floating above). • Certified Biodynamic by Demeter USA in 2010. (Demeter is the world’s only certifier of biodynamic farming methods). • Alisos Canyon will soon be its own specific AVA. • Martian wine is fun! Even though “Martian” isn’t related to “Martians,” wine names have fun, extraterrestrial names. and the explanations are fascinating. As Amanda mentioned while we were driving through the vineyards, “we take our land – and all we do with the land – very seriously. We grow the best possible grapes to make the best wine possible using what the land naturally gives us. But, once that is done, we want our guests to experience our wines, in a fun atmosphere.” You will learn how each individual piece fits into perpetuating the health of the land (such as burying manure filled cow horns), and how blue bird and owl boxes and the fish pond help sustain the viability and longevity of the land, all while complimenting each other to produce an optimal growing environment. All of this leads to raising the best possible grapes naturally, as nature intended. When your tour is done, sit, sip, enjoy and appreciate the wines of Martian Ranch in their amiable tasting room, or out on the patio, surrounded by hills, under a canopy of trees and marvel at what makes this ranch and vineyard, in Alisos Canyon, such a special place. >> BY DON SONDERLING

ROBERT HALL WINERY The Essence of Paso Robles Robert Hall Winery has been making its award-winning wine in the heart of Paso Robles for over a decade, led by winemaker, Don Brady. Brady has been with Robert Hall Winery since the beginning, and has overseen every vintage since the initial 2001 release. He’s developed a signature style recognized across the region: full-bodied wines with robust fruit flavors and velvety textures that people love drinking. Brady and co-winemaker, Amanda Gorter are proud to produce wines that are “The Essence of Paso Robles.” Grapes sourced for Robert Hall wines come from each of the eleven Paso Robles AVAs, truly representing the diversity of this wine region.
The Wine Experience
Winemakers, Amanda Gorter & Don Brady
10
You may be familiar with the Robert Hall name because of their retail distributed wines, however, the winery features a Cavern Select label as a direct to consumer offering of very limited production wines only available in the tasting room, through the wine club, or on the winery’s website. The current tasting menu features five wines, with the tasting line-up changing every month depending on the season, new releases and just to keep it fresh. The wines are offered at an extremely good value for premium wine, allowing consumers the opportunity to enjoy the wine every day with friends and family.
Wine Country This Month: Central Coast
The tasting room staff has extensive wine and region knowledge and are not only happy to answer any questions, they can also take you on a tour of their expansive wine cavern and production facility. While touring the cavern, guests learn about the various oak barrels and wine production. Tours are available everyday as a complimentary perk to make your visit special.
The Events Harvest Festival weekend is always a must-visit time, but this year’s Carnaval event at Robert Hall is one you won’t want to miss! On October 19th, ticket buyers will be dazzled with Brazilian-style BBQ, live Samba music, dancers in full costume and of course, award-winning wines. Visit their website to book your spot! If you hit the winery in the spring and summer season, be sure to check out the sensational “Free Run Fridays” concert series featuring local bands and food trucks. There is a variety of musical genres, each as exciting and lively as the guests who spend their night under the stars and overlooking the vineyards. The view of the vineyards, the friendliness of the staff, the comfort of the tasting room and the relaxing patio simply calls to you to stop, sip and savor “The Essence of Paso Robles.”
FACTS • Take a tour of the 16,000 foot wine caverns and production facility (built in 1999). The tour is complimentary with a tasting. • To enhance your wine tasting, consider adding a perfectly paired cheese plate, described on your tasting menu. • Create your own charcuterie board to accompany your wine-ask your host! • Child friendly-for children of any age. Sip on the patio overlooking the vineyards; enjoy playing giant chess, jenga, or bocce ball. • Voted Paso Robles Winery of the Year in 2017 by the New York International Wine Competition and in 2016 by the Central Coast Wine Competition. • Robert Hall wines have received multiple accolades and awards from: The Central Coast Wine Competition, The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Orange County Commercial Wine Competition, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator and others. • The winery was purchased in 2016 by the O’Neills, a fourth generation winemaking family.

OPOLO VINEYARDS Whether you’re exploring the Paso Robles wine region for a day or a week, Opolo Vineyards is a must-visit destination along Vineyard Drive when touring wineries on scenic Highway 46 West. The sprawling estate is home to a collection of award-winning wines and culinary offerings, a luxury inn, new on-site distillery, and of course, world-class hospitality which brings visitors back time and time again to experience the warmth and friendliness of this stunning family-owned winery. Founded in 1999 by Rick Quinn and Dave Nichols – next door neighbors turned business partners – the winery has grown over the years to encompass 300 acres of vineyards on the east and west side of Paso Robles. The tractor barn, which back in 2001 housed a simple plank over two barrels for sampling their wines, has evolved into a bustling and beautiful hospitality center, complete with food and wine pairing offerings on the expansive patio and special events and weddings hosted throughout the year.
Sip and Savor A rustic-meets-modern style tasting room welcomes guests to sample their single-varietal and blended wines with flights starting at $15 per person. When tasting, don’t miss their flagship wine, Mountain Zinfandel. The multi-award winner is a fan favorite with its approachable fruit-forward notes complemented by complex depth and body. A traditional lineup of wine varieties is enhanced by Spanish and Italian varietals like Albariño, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, and a delicious proprietary Italian blend of Sangiovese and Barbera called Montagna-Mare. Their large outdoor covered patio surrounded by vineyards is the perfect spot to sit back and relax with a glass of wine and partake in their Pairings on the Patio. The comprehensive menu includes produce from the estate’s gardens for the fresh, made-daily salads, local artisan cheese plates and selection of gourmet pizzas from their wood-fired oven. The housemade sausages are a nod to Quinn’s Serbian heritage with specialties like the evapi, grilled finger-sized lamb sausages served with pita bread and kajmak, a thick and tasty unripened cheese made from cow or sheep’s milk. The Tri Kobasice plates includes three housemade sausages and dipping sauce served with seasonal vegetables, cheese and focaccia bread. All the food items are paired with a glass Opolo wine and the menu changes seasonally, encouraging guests to come often to taste the chef’s newest culinary creations. For those wishing for a vineyard adventure, opt for their Estate Tour and Tasting at $50 per

person. This incredible excursion takes you through 70-acres of vines and a walnut orchard to arrive at a hilltop venue with stunning vistas of the surrounding hills. Here you will delight in a flight of six wines including a side-by-side comparison of their award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and special tasting of Reserve Rhapsody Meritage wine, all while taking in the stellar views and nibbling on cheese and charcuterie.
The Spirit Of Paso Using both estate-grown grapes and local fruits, the Willow Creek Distillery creates a variety of handcrafted aromatic fruit brandies and premium liqueurs right on the property. Formerly called The Distillery at Opolo, Willow Creek was founded in 2013 with the intent to produce top quality brandies to accompany their wines. Sourcing the highest quality fruits, grains, nuts, and botanicals has been key to the success of their spirits collection comprised of rich liqueurs like coffee, walnut (nocino), chamomile and mint; and elegant fruit brandies such as VS Brandy, Cherry, Williams Pear, Fig, Plum (Slivovitz), and a delicious Muscat-grape Grappa. With a broad range of spirits reflecting the agricultural diversity of the Opolo estate and surrounding farms, there’s surely a libation awaiting to please your palate. Tastings are available Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Monday through Thursday by appointment. Once you’ve visited distillery and chosen your preferred spirit, head to their website’s DRINKS section for seasonal cocktail recipes developed by their favorite local mixologists.

VINA ROBLES
VINEYARDS & WINERY If you seek a unique wine tasting experience, then Vina Robles Vineyards and Winery is the right place for you. The property provides various ways to tailor your experience to meet your own individual interests and desires. You could relax with a glass of Vina Robles’s wine in one of their distinctive tasting areas, such as the hospitality center, where you can pair your wine with great food or enjoy a glass watching live music in their outdoor amphitheater under the stars. Known for their Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, Vina Robles Vineyards & Winery is designed to allow people to enjoy their expressive and approachable estate wines in a unique and memorable way.
Wine Made for Wide-Spread Appeal The two Swiss families that own Vina Robles have been in the winemaking business for 20 years and want their estate wines to reflect the unique appeal of Paso Robles wines. Winemaker Kevin Willenborg makes his estate wines in small lots with minimal intervention. He blends traditional winemaking methods with modern technologies to produce creative blends. One of Vina Robles’s wines to look for is a new release, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon; it received 91 points from Tasting Panel Magazine.

This can be paired with a dark chocolate flourless cake or brownie.

TWO MOONS Place yourself on a ridge somewhere along the rugged and majestic California coastline. The sun has long set and the final remnants of the day have since given way to stars brilliantly flickering revealed by the absence of street lamps and headlights. Our solitary satellite has begun its daily sojourn across the heavens, and although most days it does so shrouded in the shadow of our own planet, tonight it shines in all of its grandeur. Now reaching its peak over the vanishing, infinite horizon, it becomes apparent that tonight, the moon does not travel alone, but rather with a partner. An identical orb made only of light that exists only on the threshold of the sky and the sea, rendered immediately unrecognizable by even the slightest disturbance to the water which serves as its fragile canvas. But tonight, wind nor wave will upset the perfect balance, and the moon’s projected partner glides over the waxy surface uninhibited. The tandem, one moving across the infinite field of space and the other across the seemingly infinite field of the ocean, are the Two Moons from which we have derived our namesake. These Two Moons are more than just a pretty tag line: it is representative of the ethos and the wines of a boutique winery in Paso Robles. The metaphor of balance is clearly applied in the choice to specialize in Rhône blends and varietals, emphasizing the distinct characteristics of each varietal yet crafted to avoid being

completely overwhelmed by one flavor or the other. Respectful of the ancient French tradition but dedicated to the unique terroir of Paso Robles; threading the needle between old methods and techniques while always looking for new ways to innovate and explore. All of the grapes are sourced from small, local winegrowers in the Paso Robles AVA, Two Moons strives to honor the individual characteristics that each vineyard offers.

All of the wines are given a name that describes an element of the human condition, inviting the drinker to reflect and place oneself in that precise moment of existence. Manifest can be defined as “to make or become evident,” and for us that means a Rosé that the characteristics of the terroir and varietal are front and center: and that variety is Mourvedré. Drawing inspiration from Bandol, our fruit comes from the Briarwood Vineyard on the west side of Paso, grown and harvested with the intent of being made into Rosé. Nectarine, reminiscent of its color, subtle strawberries and blueberries dance delicately on the palate, with a mineral finish that made this our summertime go-to. Ardor is a Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedré (GSM) blend – heavy on the Mourvedré. Ardor is synonymous with fervor and passion, and so is this wine. Blueberry, black plum and blackberry intertwine, with hints of aged meat and spices. Pair it with a thickcut bacon-wrapped figs on the barbecue and you have a pairing that is to die for. The tasting room is located at 2490 Ramada Drive in Paso Robles, a perfect little stop on your way to – or from – Tin City. Open Thursday through Sunday noon to 6 p.m., and happy to take appointments on the off days as well.

STEPHEN ROSS WINE CELLARS At Stephen Ross Wine Cellars in San Luis Obispo, Starting with the Best Fruit to Create Fabulous, Small-Production Vintages is what this Winery is All About.
A reliable Midwestern work ethic, attention to detail, estategrown grapes, and fruit harvested from some of the best vineyards in the Edna Valley and south Central Coast all merge to create a quality product that visitors can taste in the glass. INSIDE THE TASTING ROOM “In our urban location, our tasting room is never overrun by crowds,” said Paula Dooley (Stephen Ross Dooley’s wife). “Customers are assured of getting an intimate and engaging experience with our small staff. The barrels are steps away, and you can visit the cellar where the wines are made. You can stand at the bar, or retreat to comfortable seating for privacy, and enjoy a flight of Stephen Ross wines or wine by the glass.” Featured wine releases for the season include Stephen Ross’s 2016 Pinot Noir, “Arete” (ahr-it-tey’), meaning the pinnacle of something or the highest level of virtue or excellence. “As our Stone Corral estate vineyard has matured since being planted in 2001, the blocks and clones have really begun to express themselves in unique and amazing ways,” Paula said. “We have seen this developing in recent vintages and decided to carve
20
out the Arete in 2016 to really highlight the best from the vineyard. The grapes were hand-harvested and sorted in the cool of night. Non-fined and non-filtered, we aged the wine for 18 months in French oak barrels.” Also pouring in the tasting room this summer are Stephen Ross’s 2016 Pinot Noir, Stone Corral Vineyard ($60), the 2017 Albariño, Spanish Springs Vineyard ($25), and the 2016 Chardonnay, Edna Valley ($28). SUSTAINABLE FARMING Stone Corral Vineyard in Edna Valley supplies 100 percent of their estate-grown grapes for Stephen Ross wines. The rest is sourced from premium parcels within the Central Coast AVA, throughout San Luis Obispo County’s Edna Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands, and Paso Robles. A conscientious effort to maintain sustainability practices and surrounding themselves with future leaders of their industry is a priority. “We have a great cellar crew of Cal Poly University Wine and Viticulture grads and students,” said Paula. “Our vineyards, estate and contracted, are either SIP Certified or Certified
Wine Country This Month: Central Coast
Organic. For example, we laid down a band of organic mulch six inches deep under the vines to suppress weed growth and hold moisture in the soil. We do what we can to be good stewards of the environment.” BEHIND THE SCENES AT STEPHEN ROSS In addition to producing their Stephen Ross and Flying Cloud wine brands, Stephen and Paula do custom crush work. Steve’s decades of experience and a proven track record informs his wine production consultation for a handful other wineries. “They use their own grape sources, styles to strive for, and sales plans,” said Paula. “We step in to turn their grapes into the wines

they desire. Using the word ‘clients’ hardly does these relationships justice, as we have long lasting relationships build on mutual trust, like-mindedness towards premium wines, and reliable performance in the entire process from planting the vineyards to bottling the wines.” >> MELISSA CHAVEZ

COSTA DE ORO HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Many consider the Costa de Oro tasting room their home away from a home – a Central Coast “cheers” welcoming locals and fellow travelers as though they just arrived for a memorable Thanksgiving. And, on the weekends, that includes local bands playing rock, country and western music, a spread of tasty food from the steakhouse across the street, Cool Hand Luke’s, delicious Pinots and Chardonnays, and a gathering of exuberant people to chat with about wine and life while toasting the Santa Maria Valley. Opened in 2006, the casual Tuscanstyle room offers an expansive view of the unique landscape that is the Santa Maria Valley. Whether you found Costa de Oro (Spanish for gold coast) off the freeway or it’s your weekly destination, the crowds, wine, music and staff have created a destination that celebrates its roots. If you’re familiar with the area dating back to the late ’70s you likely remember Gold Coast Farms where founders Ron Burk and Bob Espinola grew delicious crops including strawberries, cauliflower and sweet corn. As the story goes, Ron and Bob decided to grow grapes on a bluff at Fuglar’s Point where the soil wasn’t conducive for vegetables, and in 1989 Gold Coast Vineyard was planted with cuttings from the prestigious Sierra Madre Vineyard. Today, 20 acres of Pinot Noir and 10 acres of Chardonnay cover this beautiful landscape of the Santa Maria Valley. Costa De Oro Winemaker Gary Burk, a former singer and guitar player living in Los Angeles, supplemented his income selling Gold Coast Wines to Au Bon Climat, Foxen, and other local wineries. After years of honing his craft at the famed Au Bon Climat/ Qupé winery, Gary produced the first Costa de Oro wines; one barrel each of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These award-winning estate wines which Costa De Oro is well known for are consistently praised for the artistry of oldContinued on page 35

More than 200 wineries produce critically acclaimed vintages in Paso Robles, Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley. Visitors can head out along the gorgeous country roads to sip their way through the vineyards.
San Luis Obispo’s unusual natural beauty, along with its gentle climate, first attracted the Spanish padres to the area in the 1700s. In 1772, they built the fifth of California’s 21 missions

here, on the banks of San Luis Creek, and named it Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Today, many consider this the most beautiful of the Spanish missions.
t’s no wonder the people here call it SLO. No one is in any hurry in the cafes or on the sidewalks, and certainly no one is in any rush to leave. Strangers are genuinely friendly, always ready to talk about their favorite hiking trail or barbecue joint, or to point the way to the winery with the best Pinot Noir. It’s all part of the SLO life, that combination of good stuff that makes visiting here so nourishing to the soul.

world winemaking styles and new-world grape growing practices. Production has increased to 6,500 cases annually and the wine is sold in 15 states across the country. Costa de Oro also produces special private labels for clients including James Beard Award Winner Roy Yamaguchi of Roy’s Restaurants and the Halekulani Hotel on Waikiki Beach. Ranging in price from $25 to $55, current highlights from the tasting menu include: 2018 Pinot Noir Rosé, 2017 Estate Chardonnay, Gold Coast Vineyard, 2017 Estate Pinot Noir, and the 2018 “Spring Fling” White Table Wine, Santa Barbara County. Reserve wines you won’t want to miss include: Reseva Daroda Chardonnay, aged for three years it has a butterscotch/buttery toast characteristic while still being very floral and fruity; the award-winning Reserva oro Rojo Pinot Noir, known for its silkiness, is golden red, fruit-forward with hints of spice; Dijon Pinot Noir comes from a grape originally brought over from France to Oregon State University where it moved down the coast and ended up in the Santa Maria Valley where Costa de Oro has perfected it. And, rumor has it there’s a Syrah coming out in the winter. Last year they only made a limited supply, so it went quickly! Tasting fees are $10 for five one-ounce pours – also available by the glass for $12 or by the bottle. Locals highly recommend the meat and cheese platters, and for those weekend spreads, the tri-tip.

Santa Ynez Valley
Inaugural ‘Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley’ – October 17-20 Four-Day, Experiential Food and Wine Destination Event, Takes Over the California Central Coast Wine Region’s Six Towns First Annual Santa Ynez Valley Signature Event to include: • Town-Wide, Progressive Dinner • VIP Wine Tastings and Seminars • Varying Menu of Winemaker Dinners • Live Music; Film Screening; • Vineyard Tours and Outdoor Activities; • “Solvang Grape Stomp” and “Sideways Fest” The Santa Ynez Valley, home to one of the California Central Coast’s renowned wine regions, will host its inaugural four-day food, wine and experiential event, “Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley: The First Course in Food, Wine, and Experiences” (TasteSYV.com), Thursday through Sunday, October 17-20. The new signature event will take place in the six Santa Ynez Valley wine country towns of Los Alamos, Santa Ynez, Los Olivos, Solvang, Ballard and Buellton, with immersive experiences meant to serve as an introductory course to the edible and imbibe-able bounty of the burgeoning food, wine and beer destination. More than 100 restaurants, wineries, wine tasting rooms, breweries, distilleries and entertainment venues will welcome Santa Ynez Valley visitors and locals during the four days of foodie adventure, with nine main events and upward of one- to two-dozen ancillary happenings spread throughout the region, with associated tickets and pricing designed for all wining and dining budgets. “Santa Ynez Valley is quietly rising to the top of wine and food lovers’ lists as a must-visit wine region, and our offering of not one, but six towns to explore and consume, means there’s something here for nearly every ‘taste’,” said Shelby Sim, President / CEO of Visit the Santa Ynez Valley, the destination marketing organization overseeing the event’s production. Launching Thursday, October 17 in the final food-frontier of Los Alamos, guests may pull up a chair for a seated dinner served at a lengthy communal table, on the atmospheric Old West town’s main thoroughfare of Bell Street. Featured chefs and restaurants will include the likes of entertainment exec-turned-baker, Bob
36
Oswaks, of Bob’s Well Bread Bakery; pioneering Los Alamos chef/ restaurateur, Clark Staub, of Full of Life Flatbread; heavy-hitting wine tasting room and restaurant combos like winemaker Will Henry’s joint venture with chef Drew Terp, Pico at the Los Alamos General Store, or farmer James Ontiveros’ Ranchos de Ontiveros Wines coupled with chef Conrad Gonzales’ Cisko Kid oakwood grilling; and Bell’s Restaurant, at which the serious culinary cred of husband/wife team Greg and Daisy Ryan, takes a French twist. The al fresco dinner will begin with a sparkling toast featuring Riverbench Vineyard & Winery. Thursday event attendees may also sample from the wine, beer and cider havens of Casa Dumetz Wines and Babi’s Beer Emporium, natural-leaning Lo-Fi Wines or Bodega Los Alamos, Bedford Winery, Municipal Winemakers and more, either at the businesses’ Los Alamos locations or at a wine tasting and live music gathering in the town’s Ferrini Park, where Santa Maria and Los Alamos wineries will pour in a grand tasting format. Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings will offer event attendees stand-alone, optional activities such as hikes, bicycling, horseback riding, yoga in the vineyards, brunches, breakfasts and coffee experiences, plus a Saturday-only “Sideways Shuttle Tour”. Continuing on Friday, October 18, in the Valley’s namesake town of Santa Ynez, Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley will educate guests during wine seminars and wine tastings – the latter showcasing Santa Ynez-proper and Happy Canyon AVA wines – to be held at the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum. The storied Maverick Saloon will host an evening concert and BBQ, while Carr Winery pairs with a local chef for a wine dinner at their Santa Ynez Warehouse. Also on tap for Friday, is the beginning of the Sta. Rita Hills Wine Alliance’s Sideways Fest Wine & Movie Celebration (sidewaysfest.com), an event-filled tribute to the film which 15 years ago, kick-started the Santa Ynez Valley’s place in wine and movie history. The Friday night Sideways Fest happening, to be held at the open-air Solvang Festival Theater, will include a movie screening and wine tasting spotlighting wineries tied to the now-iconic film. A Q&A Panel featuring Sideways film personalities will precede the screening.
Wine Country This Month: Central Coast
The foodie fun will continue on Saturday, October 19, in the Santa Ynez Valley hubs of Los Olivos and Solvang. The festival within a festival which puts the “country” back in “wine country”, Los Olivos’ annual “Day in the Country” (losolivosca.com/day-in-the-country) fall fest will serve as the family-friendliest portion of Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley. The Victorian-era village’s streets will be closed to traffic, boasting rows of artisan vendors, food trucks and booths, an early morning family “fun run,” and a small-town parade. Los Olivos’ walkable avenues will lead tasting passport-holding guests through the wine-soaked town, while a tented VIP Lounge will feature Los Olivos-area labels lacking in-town tasting rooms. The second annual Solvang Grape Stomp (solvangusa.com/ wine-country/solvang-grape-stomp) will also take place on Saturday, with an actual grape stomping opportunity, live music, and Valleywide producer wine tastings lining pedestrian-friendly streets in the heart of Solvang, “California’s Denmark”. Saturday evening will bring wine dinner experiences scattered about both Los Olivos and Solvang, at Santa Ynez Valley wine country restaurant favorites like local-food-driven Root 246 at Hotel Corque; Michelin-honored First &
Oak; in the pastoral burg of Ballard, at chef/owner Budi Kazali’s The Gathering Table at his Ballard Inn; and a BBQ at the luxe cowboy lifestyle resort, The Alisal Guest Ranch. On Sunday, the festivities move down the road to the traveltown of Buellton, where Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley culminates with a Sideways Wine Festival grand tasting at River View Park featuring wine, beer and food from all over the Santa Ynez Valley, accompanied by live music. Sunday night stays will award guests with both wine- and beer-pairing dinners in and around Buellton, including vineyard events at some of the Valley’s most picturesque winery properties, in addition to a daytime cooking class and evening wine dinner at Industrial Eats. “With so many fantastic, regionally unique places to eat and an unending supply of excellent wine and beer coming from all corners of the Santa Ynez Valley right now, there’s never been a better time to capitalize on this culinary concentration,” remarked Matt Kettmann, editor at Wine Enthusiast and The Santa Barbara Independent. “It’s exciting to see all of the individual communities band together to

host a series of educational and edible events to promote the overall Santa Ynez Valley brand. Every place is distinct, yet they all share a commitment to making world-class wine and serving delicious food, mostly grown in the surrounding fields.” Produced in partnership with Santa Barbara-based En Fuego Events (eventsbyenfuego.com), and with media sponsorship by Wine Enthusiast Magazine (winemag.com), ticket proceeds from the inaugural Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley will benefit Santa Barbara Vintners (sbcountywines.com). A “VIP” lanyard package will be available for purchase, granting attendees access to all Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley main events plus one wine dinner experience per night. Single-day lanyards will also be available for purchase, providing access to any given day’s main events and one of that evening’s wine dinners. Individual event wristbands will also be available, for entry into the weekend’s individual, main events. Sim added, “The Santa Ynez Valley’s layout is as diverse as our food, wine, beer and spirits craft culture, making the area an ideal multiple-day getaway. What’s more, we have numerous hotels and lodging options to suit nearly any vacation budget and itinerary. Our menu of wine country getaway offerings is as fruitful as our land, so we’ve created this event to give visitors just a little taste of the Santa Ynez Valley…knowing that they’ll come back for more.” More information is available at TasteSYV.com, where links to the Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley ticketing platform and a preliminary schedule of weekend events are available.

Ventura County Sun, Sand, History and Wine Fun! haven to come, sit, sip and relax with old and new friends alike, while sampling their assortment of hand crafted award winning wines. On Friday evenings (between 5:00-8:00pm) you can accompany your tasting with a gourmet cheese platter or small bites as you “time travel” to this Italian retreat, even if just for a few hours. Less than 10 minutes from Magnavino, you’ll arrive at Four Brix Winery in Ventura. Step into this fun, funky tasting roomwinery to savor wines made from grapes that are an homage to four great grape regions: Italy, France, Spain and California. Offering a “tapas menu” to accompany your wine tasting, Four Brix is a special “community.” Live concerts and special events are a constant at Four Brix---the fun never stops here. A few blocks from Four Brix is Panaro Brothers Winery. Being fifth generation Italian-American winemakers, the four Panaro Brothers offer a wide selection of mostly single-varietal wines, grapes sourced from vineyards stretching from Monterey through the Central Coast. You will be warmly welcomed into “la famiglia,” so come sit, sip and enjoy a selection of Italian style wines – once you do you will return often. As we cruise into spring and summer, plan some daytrips to the many unique tasting rooms throughout Ventura County. Please check individual websites for hours of operation, (most being open 3-4 days a week). >> DON SONDERLING *Lyrics from Ventura Highway, by America.
“Ventura Highway in the sunshine, where the days are longer, the nights are stronger than the moonshine, you’re gonna go I know.”* What better reason to go than to spend a rambling day (or two) along the Ventura 101 Freeway (or King’s Highway), from Camarillo to the seaside town of Ventura, (named after Mission San Buenaventura, founded in 1782), sipping wines, enjoying the sunshine and drive as you meet winemakers in their welcoming, friendly tasting rooms.
So Many Tasting Rooms—Not Enough Time (nut plenty of wine) With more than 20 tasting rooms to choose from, the Camarillo-Ventura corridor is less than a two-hour drive from central Orange County, and an hour or less from greater Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Enjoy the fruitful bounty of what Ventura County has to offer – you won’t be disappointed.
Four Not to Miss Travelling north on the 101 toward Ventura, you may want to make your first stop at Herzog Wine Cellars, in Oxnard. Though a well-known larger winery, Herzog (producing Kosher wines), has a fascinating history, and includes in their line-up smaller lot, limited edition and premium wines. Take the selfguided tour which is educational and fascinating. Magnavino Cellars, is a mile down the road from Herzog. Entering, you will feel transported into a delightful Italian wine country getaway. Robert and Barbara Wagner have created a
