Picture Malibu, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, and this is exactly what you see: blue skies, surf, sunshine—maybe even a movie star or two. The stars of southern California wine share the blue skies and sunshine of our famous beaches, but the lifestyle is more serene, with quiet vineyards tucked into rolling valleys and foothills. Picture this: one San Diego vineyard grows their Cabernet Sauvignon at 1,300 meters (4,400 feet) above sea level, the highest vineyard elevation in California.
Details: The inaugural Paso Robles Wine Country Virtual Auction will run online from May 10 to 16, allowing the wine region to showcase the wine country lifestyle to fans and bidders from around the country. A rare opportunity for bidders to acquire distinctive, exceptional lots not offered elsewhere features one-of-a-kind experiences not available out of any retail channel, as well as rare wines, vertical collections, and large format bottles, and more. Proceeds benefit the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Foundation, a 501c3 that gives back to the community primarily through educational scholarships for aspiring young adults from the Paso Robles region.
