The Paso Wine Fest is set to return this spring — and San Luis Obispo County locals can get a big discount on one of its largest events.

The festival, scheduled to run from May 15 to 18, includes winery-hosted dinners, concerts, immersive brand experiences, yoga and vineyard tours, according to a Paso Wine Fest news release.

Through Feb. 28, general admission tickets to the festival’s Wine Fest Grand Tasting will be available to SLO County residents for just $99.

The Grand Tasting is scheduled for May 17 and will feature wines from over 100 local wineries paired with complimentary food cooked up by local chefs, live entertainment and a selection of other local beverages.

Prices are set to increase to $165 in March and $175 in May.

The locals-only tickets can be purchased in person at the Paso Wine Country Alliance office weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or at the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce office from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m Thursday through Saturday.

Buyers must show proof of residency to qualify.
