The 2nd Annual OCWineFest
03.08.19
OCWineFest returns to San Juan Capistrano March 9 and 10, to sip for a cause, bringing top wineries into one location for two days of wine tasting and wine education on the historic grounds of A Stone’s Throw Winery, with many OC-based winemakers, luxe exhibitors, and great philanthropic organizations in the mix. All tickets include unlimited tastings and a souvenir glass.
Ideal for the wine novice to the aficionado balancing fun, exploration, and education with wine and beer tastings, food pairings, seminars, and a chance to meet some of the area’s top sommeliers and winemakers. The event will also feature gourmet goodies and luxury products from a variety of vendors.
Tasty eats will be available for purchase from Cousins Maine Lobster, MAIZ Cocina, Nostimo Greek Mediterranean Cuisine, Slammin’ Sliders, and The Poke Hut Food Truck. There will be games by King Barrel and dancing to the tunes of The Shenanigans Band and Hunting Waldo.
OCWineFest will raise funds and awareness for three amazing philanthropic organizations – Kids Konnected, the Swanner House Restoration Foundation, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Tickets for the 2019 OCWineFest retail for $100 for General Admission and $125 for All Access, (which provides access to the exclusive VIP boutique winery areas). Designated drivers are appreciated, and their tickets cost only $25. Greer’s OC readers can get 50% off any ticket when they use the code SHOUT at checkout. More info at ocwinefest.com
