CARTER FAMILY TOASTS CALIFORNIA WINE MONTH

September is California Wine Month and South Coast Winery and Carter Estate Winery both owned and operated by the Carter family, are enticing their wine-loving guests and fans to celebrate with special vineyard fun, hospitality, and wallet-friendly sales of award-winning rosés and more.

The celebration includes two options for their annual Grape Stomp (altered to accommodate safety and health protocols) – all happening during the month of September in the Vintner’s Garden of South Coast Winery Resort & Spa. The “Toast of the Coast” Winners Flight takes place on the outdoor tasting patios at South Coast, offering sipping of recent competition medal winners. Also, there are great discounts offered at Everything’s Coming Up Rosés, and the 2020 Sale offers select wines at only $20 a bottle. These sales are being held to honor some of the best wines California has to offer.

Personal Grape Stomps will take place in South Coast Winery Resort & Spa’s Vintner’s Garden. The Grape Stomp is a fun, two-person activity, which requires one team member to be in the barrel stomping ripe grapes as the other team member collects the stomped grape juice in a bottle. Slots are limited to accommodate safety guidelines and proper hand and feet sanitization will apply. Fridays and Saturday at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m.; Sundays at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Options for the event:

Personal Stomp Only for Two which includes one wine flight per person and a case of wine to take home*; price starts at $168 per couple, not including tax and gratuity.

Personal Stomp and Dinner, which includes a three-course dinner with wine pairings at The Vineyard Rose Restaurant and a case of wine to take home*; price starts at $338 per couple, not including tax and gratuity.

*Participants can choose which wines to fill their case.
