Ready to wine and dine? Blendfest on the Coast is back in SLO County and here are details
A coastal celebration of Paso Robles-area wines is set to return on the weekend of Feb. 24 through 27, as Blendfest on the Coast combines food, wine, excursions and experiences, just as winemakers blend the wines being highlighted.
Tickets range from $50 to $135 per person, depending on the event. Details and tickets are available at pasowine.com/events/blendfest-on-the-coast/.
