Drink in the View at the 27th Annual Ojai Wine Festival
Sunday, June 9, 2013, 12:00 to 4:00 p.m.
(Ojai, CA – January 4, 2013) The twenty-seventh annual Ojai Wine Festival will take
place Sunday, June 9, 2013 from 12:00 to 4:00 pm on the scenic shores of Lake Casitas.
From its humble beginnings in 1987 the event has grown into a leading regional event
attracting nearly 5000 people from throughout the Central Coast and Southern California.
The annual event is a major fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Ojai West Foundation; a
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps fund many humanitarian and community
projects, including the environmental science based educational Lake Casitas Boat
Tours for public schools.
“You can’t beat the combination of fantastic wine, beer, food, live music,
dancing and fun in such a beautiful shady setting on the shores of Lake Casitas,” boasted
Robert Long, President of the Rotary Club of Ojai-West.
Select from ten of Ojai’s best restaurants to buy a delicious meal. Guests may
dine and drink wine on tables throughout the site or picnic on a grassy knoll overlooking
the stage and Lake Casitas. Not a wine lover? Beer lovers can enjoy tasting a great
selection of over 20 domestic and import beers. Purchase a V.I.P. ticket for the exclusive
V.I.P. Lounge to enjoy early 11:30 am entry, fine wines by the glass or three craft
Belgian beers by the glass sponsored by Anheuser-Busch: Stella Artois, Hoegaarden or
Leffe with free hors d’oeuvres served by Sakura Ojai Japanese Restaurant and La Piu
Bella Tavola Italian Catering in a lovely shaded setting by the lakefront. Full ticket price
information is available at the festival’s website – http://www.ojaiwinefestival.com.
“Last year had over 60 wineries who poured over 250 diverse wines,” states Wine
Festival Executive Director, Angela May. “Our selection of wineries is looking
impressive for this year. Tickets are limited and we advise buying tickets online now. 2
Photos, maps, and information from last year’s event can be found at the Festival’s
website.”
Visitors can look forward to listening, dancing, and singing along to the music of
Beatles tribute band, Sgt. Pepper, plus Captain Cardiac and the Coronaries, a 1950’s –
1960’s rock and roll show band. The festival will also feature an assortment of arts and
crafts vendors selling their wares. Small children can play in the park’s play area and
free boat rides on Lake Casitas will again be available to all attendees. More than 100
volunteers guarantee a well run and safe festival.
