· Thursday, September 29: The four-day event kicks off in grand style with an opening soirée at Hearst Castle in San Simeon. A perfect blend of vintage grandeur and artful opulence, Hearst Castle will provide the elegant backdrop for an evening of artisan cocktails and prestigious small-lot wines from some of the producers who have put the Central Coast on the map. From the castle’s stunning perch overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this will be a rare opportunity to relive the epic days of William Randolph Hearst, Charlie Chaplin and Marion Davies.
· Friday, September 30: Adventure awaits! A day for agricultural, culinary, and adventure exploration: Take tours across the Central Coast’s wildly diverse landscapes to witness abalone and oyster farming, wine grape harvesting, kayaking, hiking and more. At sunset, enjoy the Sunset 2011 Western Wine Awards Gala on the Pismo Beach pier to honor the very best vintners in the West.
