Celebrating the combination for art, wine, music and food, the Capitola Art & Wine Festival fills Capitola Village with thousands people indulging in some of life’s simple pleasures with family and friends.
This year on September 13 & 14, over 160 artist and 23 Santa Cruz Mountain wineries will display and share their gifts with locals and visitors alike. There is even a Children’s Art Area with ongoing craft projects is conveniently located in the center of the Festival on Lawn Way, making the event perfect for the whole family to attend.
The best part? The event is free to attend, no admissions charges, no fees, just a great weekend to come out and enjoy some of the best that Santa Cruz has to offer.
Among the superb wineries to look forward to are the classic Bargetto Winery, Hallcrest Vineyards & the Organic Wine Works, and Naumann Vineyards. For a full list of the all the wineries that will be in attendance at this years festival check out this page. Wine tasting requires the purchase of 2014 Festival Glass and Tasting Tokens, glasses cost $8 and tasting tokens costs $1 each.
The artists playing the main Bandstage on Saturday include Jacob Jeffries and The Sun Kings. Taking the Bandstand Stage on Sunday are Extra Large and SambaDa. What better way to spend an afternoon then with family and friends enjoying great art, wine, food, and music? Come see why Santa Cruz is a mecca for the arts here in the Bay Area.
To avoid traffic and hectic parking, I suggest riding the 41st shuttle from the Capitola Mall. Park next to the Bank of America and the shuttle drops you off in from of the festival. Or ride your bike and get free bike valet parking at the David Lyng parking lot or Monterey Avenue Festival entrance.
Capitola is an amazing place for anyone to live whether you’re a young family, retired couple or looking for a vacation home. To make Santa Cruz your next home, check out local listings at my website www.petecullen.com.
