Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival returns this weekend
Tickets can be purchased at the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce
– The Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival is just around the corner, and this week presents the final opportunity to secure tickets for the event. Tickets can be purchased at the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce office, located at 6907 El Camino Real, Suite A, or online at www.atascaderowinefest.com.
Tickets are priced at $90 through Friday, after which they will be available for $100 at the event. Non-drinker tickets can be purchased for $30. This year, attendees will receive $10 in “Festival Bucks” to spend on food, art, crafts, or donate to the zoo.
The festival will be held this Saturday, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Atascadero Lake Park. Celebrating its 26th year, the event showcases a wide selection of wines, brews, ciders, and spirits from both the Central Coast and beyond. Guests are invited to bring a blanket and a low-back chair to relax while enjoying live music performances by local artists, including Chris Beland, 3 Drink Minimum, DJ Medina, and DJ Rama.
A highlight of this year’s festival is the unique “Roar-and-Pour” experience, which allows attendees to savor wines while observing the animals at the Charles Paddock Zoo.
“We’ve added some ‘wow factor’ fun to elevate the Wine Fest experience,” said Atascadero Chamber Director of Membership Julie Matthews, “Whether you’re seeking adventure, artistic expression, or simply a day of relaxation, there’s an activity for every taste. Activities include paddleboat riding from Mr. Putter’s Boathouse at 50% off, rides around the beautiful lake in a modern vintage sidecar by Third Wheel Tours, and axe throwing by A-Town Chop Shop. If you love painting, you can paint a wine glass to take with you or watch artist Patrick Dennis as he paints live during the event. There is truly something for
everyone.”
