Central Coast Wine Classic

The growth of the wine industry has tripled in San Luis Obispo County, and wineries are saying local events are contributing.

Paso Robles is now ranked the third largest wine region in the state, and events like The Central Coast Wine Classic are to thank.

„It means their biggest fans are coming here this weekend, the fans that are willing to buy are those rare and unique treasures they can’t buy at regular retail channels. They’re spending time on the central coast learning about our wine region, enjoying our wine, and ultimately bidding on those rare wines that they want to take with them to their cellar,“ explained Stacie Jacob, Paso Wine Country Alliance.

Ten years ago, there were only 40 wineries in Paso Robles, and now there are 170 bonded wineries in the region. Log onto www.centralcoastwineclassic.org for upcoming events.
