Welcome to the Atascadero Lakeside Evening Wine Festival, a unique festival where
you will find yourself strolling through a beautiful lake park with stately oak trees,
rolling green hills and over 100 booths filled with local wineries, artist, olive oils,
brewery’s, foods, hard cider and fantastic shopping.
“New” this year the festival is pleased to host in the bandstand Moonshiner Collective an
Indie Rock, Folk, and Americana based quartet featuring guitar, bass, drums, violin and keys.
We have also added a second stage to the park featuring acoustic duo Rewined a local’s favorite!
Proceeds from this festival support our local Charles Paddock Zoo and other Local Community
Projects. Through the year’s we have donated a substantial part of our proceeds to
the zoo, helping fund such features as the flamingo exhibit. This year the zoo will be open,
free-of-charge, to all wine-festival ticket-holders. The Charles Paddock Zoo will be hosting
“Stroll Through the Zoo”, there will be wine tastings and an opportunity to see some of the Zoo
residents up-close and personal. The zookeepers will be bringing out a selected group of zoo
animals and walking them throughout the zoo while special local winery hosts are offering
wine tastings.
