“The complement, or blend of wine country and the coast makes our region
a very unique place and we are delighted to share this throughout the
weekend at BlendFest on the Coast,” said Jennifer Porter, Executive
Director of the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance. “The success of the
2015 event led us to expand the opportunities with a Winemaker Dinner on
the Friday evening and a Blending Seminar and lunch on Sunday.”

New in 2016, BlendFest on the Coast offers two limited seating events.
On Friday, February 19, multiple Paso Robles winemakers will pair their
wines with the cuisine of Cambria’s Centrally Grown restaurant. On
Sunday, February 21, four Paso Robles winemakers come together at
Harmony Cellars for a unique, team environment, Blending Seminar.
Complete with a competition for best blend and lunch, this is set to be
a memorable experience. Tickets for both events can be purchased at www.pasowine.com/events/blend-fest-tickets.php.

Proceeds from BlendFest on the Coast (Saturday, February 20) go to
