About this event

Tides & Terroir | October 16-17 Celebrating the wine, cuisine and community that define Monterey BayTides & Terrori is a two-day celebration of the Monterey Coast - its wines, its cuisine, its makers, and the multigenerational farming community that has shaped one of California's most distinctive food and wine regions.

Saturday, October 17, 12-3 PM | Tasting by the Tides

The weekend moves outdoors on Saturday. The Grand Cypress Meadow is a short walk from the dunes, and for three hours it becomes the center of the Monterey Bay’s wine and food community.

Dozens of wineries pour the best from Monterey, from long-established family estates to newer names making their mark on the region. Local chefs and food purveyors work the meadow alongside them, serving bites built around the same coastal ingredients that define the region. A market of local craftspeople runs alongside the tasting, selling wares that are as much a product of this coast as the wine in your glass. Live music carries across the meadow with the Pacific just steps away. 12-3 pm

Lodging packages are available at Asilomar State Beach & Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, California. Book your coastal weekend escape below.
