Wine Festival

Author: HelenKay, Category: All For Charity, Events & Happenings, Festivals, Wine Events

You don’t have to travel to Northern California or even Temecula to do some serious wine tasting.  This weekend you can stay in San Diego and…drink.

Friday (April 11th) is the first day of the California Wine Festival, complete with a wine tasting and silent auction.  The events start at 6:30 p.m. at the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel, Seaport Plaza. You can then stumble home (walk, take a cab or have someone else drive) and start the whole process over at a new location on Saturday. In fact, Saturday’s event even gets a different name. It’s the:   “Reds, Whites & Blues” on the Bay - A California Wine Festival.  The blues part deals with music events happening during the festival. See, it makes sense.

The second day of fun takes place at the Embarcadero Marina Park North. Again you get to engage in wine tasting, enjoy a festival, listen to music and take part in a live auction.  Sunday you rest and recuperate before heading back to work.

Two days of drinking in the sunshine. I’m not sure why you’d go anywhere else this weekend.
