Passports are good until December 31 and good at North County businesses

ATASCADERO — The Atascadero Chamber has discounted the cost of its Lakeside Wine Passports to $65. Good until December 31, there is still plenty of time to support North County businesses and enjoy complimentary tastings at 30 wineries, four breweries, two distilleries, one cidery, and two olive oil tasting rooms. One complimentary tasting is allowed per passport per person (no sharing).

Passport holders will also receive complimentary corkage fees at participating restaurants and discounts at four local hotels and two retailers.

Aaron Smith, who recently relocated to Atascadero, said, “Without the passport, it would be hard to know where to begin sampling the wide range of excellent food and drink options in the area. The passport has given my wife and me a map to find new places and to start to try some of the delicious flavors along the central coast.”
