Starting this Thursday, November 3 and lasting through Sunday, November 6 is the Big Sur Food & Wine Festival. Big Sur is one of those places that is known worldwide for its beauty yet is still largely unexplored. The very thing that has preserved Big Surs natural beauty from ugly urban development, strict land use restrictions fought for by environmentally conscious residents, has also restricted mass amounts of tourists from seeing much of Big Sur beyond the views from Highway 1. There are no town plazas to stroll or an identifiable tourist trail beyond the highway. What Big Sur does have, of course, is a natural landscape so pristine and unspoiled that makes any amount of car sickness worthwhile.
Less known is that the Big Sur area has wonderful restaurants serving everything from pub grub to 5-star dining. Accompanying your plate of burger or lobster may be a glass of cabernet sauvignon or pinot noir from a local winery. The Big Sur Food & Wine Festival aims to showcase the area as a culinary destination while raising funds for local non-profits that provide vital services to residents. It's your chance to get out of the car and experience the area as locals do. Spread across the four days are a mix of events that include hikes, auctions, panels and entertainment, all accompanied by tastings of Big Sur's best food and wine. Serious foodies can also go to one of the many special dinners held at several restaurants and resorts featuring guest winemakers and acclaimed chefs. Each event has its own ticket price so you can pick and choose to create your own customized festival experience.
Of particular interest is Saturday's Grand Public Tasting, which will feature 40 wineries and 12 chefs. "The key to budget travel is to approach in front. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our thoughts. Arranging and spending our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Lowering consuming and costs, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding protecting money while touring is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, regardless of whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!..". Tickets to the Grand Public Tasting includes admission to the Lifestyle Auction, where you can bid for lots of wine, dinners, wine experiences and resort stays.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, foodie or wine connoisseur, with so many great events packed into a few short days, you're sure to find one that reminds you of the joys of California living.
