Escape the heat: Head north for Monterey Wine Country festival
Itching to escape the heat and head north to wine country? On Saturday afternoon Monterey Wine Country celebrates the festival’s 20th anniversary in Carmel. Tickets are $35 in advance, $45 at the door on the day of the event. And get this, designated drivers pay just $15, presumably because they will not be imbibing — or at least as much
What’s happening? Tastings of Monterey wines, food from local restaurants, music from the Red Beans & Rice jazz band — and of course, an auction.
The event is held at the Barnyard Shopping Village in Carmel from 1 to 4 p.m. Driving north on the 1, you can’t miss it.
