Festival takes place on Saturday, June 24

ATASCADERO — Early Bird tickets to the Atascadero Wine Fest (formerly called Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival) are $80 through May 7. The Festival will be held on Saturday, June 24, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Atascadero Lake Park and Charles Paddock Zoo.

The Festival will feature wineries, breweries, spirits, cider, food purveyors, art exhibitors, and live music.

Tickets can be purchased at the Atascadero Chamber office at 6907 El Camino Real, Suite A, or online at atascaderowinefest.com. On May 8, the cost increases to $90, and tickets are $100 at the door. Non-drinker tickets are $30. This year, all ticket holders will receive a $10 “Festival Bucks” voucher to spend on food, art, crafts, or as a donation to a zoo animal.

“The Atascadero Wine Fest will be here before you know it,” says Gail Kudlac, Festival Committee Chair.
