Wine Tasting — Central Coast (Santa Ynez)
Our annual wine tasting on the Central Coast is one of CAAA’s most beloved traditions. A full day of relaxation, connection, and unforgettable views in Santa Ynez wine country. Members enjoy a curated Sideways-style tour featuring exceptional wineries, gourmet food, and plenty of fun along the way. This year’s adventure included tastings at Foxen Winery and Fess Parker Vineyard, complete with vineyard history, award-winning wines, trivia, prizes, and panoramic scenery. The day wrapped with a sunset reception at Craft House, making it a perfect blend of camaraderie and California charm. Join us next year for another memorable day among the vines.
