Earth Day Food & Wine Festival

The Central Coast Vineyard Team (CCVT) will host the 2nd Annual Earth Day Food & Wine Festival April 19th. The event will be held from 1 pm to 5 pm at the historic Santa Margarita de Cortona Asistencia in Santa Margarita, Ca.
CCVT, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, began in 1994 when a small group of growers, wineries, and resource professionals met to create a sustainable winegrowing program on the Central Coast of California. (A seperate article forthcoming) In 1999, 200 copies of their newsletter were distributed; by 2008, 30,000 copies are sent out! For a timeline of their remarkable growth see this.
But this event is about more than wine. Locally farmed organic produce, olive oils, Fair Trade coffees, meats and artisanal cheeses will be offered in addition to educational booths; Bee keepers, chocolateers, restaurants (one of my personal favorites, Villa Creek, will be in attendance), a lavender farm, green landscapers, the list of participants goes on and on. (A full listing may be found here.)
This is the Central Coast’s premier Earth Day event.
