Cal Poly Wine Festival

Mar 9th 2006

Cal Poly Wine Festival ‘An Afternoon Amidst the Oaks’ To benefit Wine and Viticulture Program







The Cal Poly Vines to Wines club will host their fourth annual Cal Poly Wine Festival, formally known as “An Afternoon Amidst the Oaks” Saturday, April 29th, 2006 from 1-4 p.m. The event will take place at the historic Santa Margarita Ranch. It will feature wineries from all over California as well as local restaurants and caterers.

Last year the event drew over 500 wine enthusiasts, Cal Poly students and alumni. Seventy wineries attended the event from the Napa/ Sonoma, Lodi, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara regions. Local restaurants served appetizers while attendees tasted fine wines, bided on silent auction items, and listened to a local jazz band. Cal Poly wines and chocolates also attended the event. The proceeds will go towards the Wine and Viticulture Program at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Tickets are $50 per person or $30 for Cal Poly students, staff, and faculty.

Vines to Wines will also host a golf tournament on Friday, April 28th at Cypress Ridge Golf Course. The Vines to Wines club encourages winemakers and the general public to attend the tournament, which will be followed by a BBQ and silent auction. Tickets are $135 per golfer or $185 for the weekend package. This package includes 1 golf and 2 tickets to Saturday’s wine festival.

The Wine and Viticulture major is based on fundamental and applied sciences, modern agribusiness principles, and appropriate social sciences. It encompasses grape cultivation, enology, and wine business - creating both an interesting and diverse undergraduate opportunity. The curriculum fosters an academic alliance among production agriculture, food science, and agricultural business interests and provides a vine to glass academic opportunity. Graduates will gain extensive hands-on experience in all aspects of the wine industry, encompassing viticulture, the complexities of fermentation, and wine business. Students taking advantage of these diverse course offerings will enter industry as competent and experienced employees.
