Grape Stomps and Live Tunes at South Coast Winery

In September South Coast Winery Resort and Spa, recently named as a fifth-time award winner of the Golden State Winery of the Year by the California State Fair in the California Commercial Wine Competition, will be celebrating its contribution to California's excellent, world-famous, varied and diverse wine production during California Wine Month.
As part of this tribute, it is hosting lots-of-fun, two-person team Grape Stomp sessions in its spacious Vintner’s Garden on select Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in September. The resort will also present five outdoor, live music performances during the month – from jazz to rock. And guests can imbibe on South Coast Winery's two recent Double Gold awards from the California State Fair – 2020 Pinot Blanc, Best of Region White with a score of 100, and NV Daybreak with a score of 99 – in the winery’s tasting room.
