Winemaker Participation
Come celebrate the season with us at Hotel San Luis Obispo, where your talents will shine alongside the finest wines of the Central Coast at our Fourth Annual Autumn Soirée.
This year marks an exciting new chapter. While the SLO Food Bank remains our primary beneficiary, we are expanding our impact to support the arts and local causes in partnership with San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre, CalPoly Uncork Potential Scholarships, and Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers.
It promises to be a spectacular evening where food, wine, art, and community come together in perfect harmony. We are honored to have you join us in creating an unforgettable experience.
Below please find details of your participation in this event. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Alan Chagolla at 831 272 8615 or email achagolla@hotel-slo.com.
