Yes, it’s harvest time — and that means great fall wine festivals, including the third annual Autumn Soirée The SLO Way Nov. 9 on California’s Central Coast. The event will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Garden Courtyard at luxury boutique Hotel San Luis Obispo, recognized as a MICHELIN Guide One Key property.

Attendees can expect performances of live music and fire dancing, a wine wall, and art by international artist and post-graffiti muralist Momo. Tastings from many of the area’s most celebrated wineries will be accompanied by delicious bites prepared by Executive Chef Ryan Fancher and his culinary team from the property’s on-site eateries Piadina and MICHELIN-recognized steakhouse Ox + Anchor.

“We’re thrilled to bring together the best local winemakers, chefs and purveyors for this special Central Coast celebration,” said Circe Sher, co-founder, Piazza Hospitality, developer and manager of Hotel San Luis Obispo. “Located just miles from the Central Coast’s acclaimed wine appellations, the property regularly showcases the region’s wine by curating special wine experiences for hotel guests and hosting winemaker dinners at Ox + Anchor, in addition to presenting Autumn Soirée and our spring Rosé the SLO Way festival. It’s the perfect hotel for wine lovers.”
