We are pleased to announce that our original registration response date for LCOC’s award-winning Mystic Hills Vineyard wine tasting has been extended until March 30. Members, family and friends from throughout our Western Region are cordially invited to participate while cruising through California’s beautiful central coast rolling hills and wine country.
On Saturday April 5 starting at 11:30 a.m. our own Scott Balanda has planned a stellar wine tasting event and lunch at the beautiful Mystic Hills Vineyard, 79550 Watkins Lane, San Miguel, CA. Mystic Hills is located in the scenic Paso Robles wine producing region of central California. This small family-owned winery is renowned for its red wine varietals and blends and offers white and blush wines. Their wine quality, hospitality and friendliness have been cited in numerous 5 star tasting reviews and LCOC will expect no less.
After the host’s wonderful introduction to the property, tasting will take place outside on the patio overlooking the vineyard. Mystic HIlls has been named Monterey County Winery of the Year and San Luis Obispo County Winery of the Year.
The Mystic HIlls outing near Paso Robles is planned as a day trip, but should you wish to arrive the night before or spend the weekend nearby, your best bet for reasonable accommodations is in nearby Atascadero.
One attraction not to be missed if you are in the area is the Estrella Warbirds Museum, just a few minutes away from Mystic Hills by car. The museum features vintage aircraft on the tarmac and inside, several display buildings of rare and unusual artifacts as well as a wonderful private car collection.
This tasting also will include a pre-arranged gourmet box lunch featuring a delicious vegan, deli or gluten free sandwich, side dish choice of broccoli, coleslaw, fruit cup, macaroni, pasta salad, potato salad, quinoa or side green, plus potato chip bag, and a gourmet dessert cookie, water and soft drinks. In a nostalgic throwback to the free tastings of earlier days of California’s nascent wine industry, the entire event including lunch will be just $30 per person paid directly to Scott.
Contact him by March 30 at scott.balanda@gmail.com to reserve your space and lunch selection. We are limited to the first 30 visitors to sign up so you won’t want to delay your reservation. There is ample parking if you choose to arrive in your classic Lincoln; however, all makes, models and years of vehicles are welcome.
