The successful start-up, Rock the Vine, produced by two Cal Poly Seniors, in
conjunction with SLO Brew Rock, returns this June to kick off summer with their Rockin’ Rosé
event. The idea is to provide a makeshift “tasting room” in a farmers’ market style event focused
around central coast rosés. This project is to promote and provide exposure to the locally owned
wineries without a large scale tasting room of their own.
As agricultural communication majors at Cal Poly, Alex Broedlow and Emily Rosa
decided they wanted to provide a new outlet for boutique and craft winemakers to come
showcase their products for the entire Central Coast community to come enjoy. Cal Poly instilled
the Learn by Doing philosophy in their minds; With both of them coming from agricultural
backgrounds and wanting to make their 4th and final year worthy of something before
graduation day, the two were inspired to give back to the agricultural community. What started
as a senior project and one time event, Alex and SLO Brew have decided to continue Rock the
Vine as a local biannual event.
