Celebrate California Wine Month at South Coast Winery
In September, South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, recently recognized as a Top 10 Wine Country Hotel in the U.S. by USA Today readers and a consistent winner in national and international competitions, including a five-time recipient of the Golden State Winery of the Year Award, celebrates California Wine Month. This month is ideal for experiencing the state's annual harvest peak season, offering guests and locals a chance to explore California's diverse soils and unique flavor profiles.
South Coast Winery's celebratory events feature special Wednesday Blending Classes led by oenophile experts; Two-Person Grape Stomp Sessions from September 20 through September 22 in the resort's vineyards with local vendor sales and live music in the Vintner's Garden; and a Six Bottle Room Package that provides Villa and Suite guests with half a dozen bottles of curated wines to enjoy at home.
