2012 Earth Day Food & Wine Festival

Participant Deadlines

Happy New Year!  Marketing deadlines are quickly approaching for the Earth Day Food & Wine Festival, so please take a few minutes to review the information below and contact me with any questions.

Food and Wine Pairings

NEW! This year we are creating unique food and wine pairings throughout the main event.  Don't worry - this doesn't mean less table space for you!  Restaurants and wineries who pair their food and wine will be placed at adjacent booths.  For instance, Two Cooks Catering will be next to Still Waters - together they will create a pairing for guests based on the menu.

To make this happen, we need to you to start thinking of what wines and/or foods you would pair best with and contact me with possibilities.  Pairings will be finalized in February, so start thinkin' now!

Passport Weekend

NEW! We are launching the Earth Day Food & Wine Festival Passport.  Guests who bring their glass OR wristband to participating businesses on Sunday, receive a discount, freebie, or some other perk you choose.  Our goal is to drive foot traffic to places with the very best the Central Coast has to offer.  It's easy - you sign up and we promote it!  Sign up online by February 1st to participate.

Weekend Activities

Weekend activities were wildly successfull last year - let's do it again!  Weekend activity hosts provide us  copy, price point, and ticket purchasing information.  We promote the activity on our website and post to online calendars.  All ticket sales are for the host - we take no commission or fees.  We simply appreciate the effort of our supporters to enhance the Earth Day Food & Wine Festival with an array of unique weekend activities.

What works best? We've found food and wine pairings, opportunity for guests to do something they otherwise would not be able to do, small and intimate gatherings to be the most popular, priced in the $35 - $50 range.  We are happy to work with you to create just the perfect activity!

If you are interested in hosting a weekend activity, complete an Interest Form online by February 1st.

As always, we appreciate the support of all of our participants and are available to answer any questions you may have.

Cheers!
