Hotel San Luis Obispo, a luxury boutique hotel in the heart of San Luis Obispo’s vibrant downtown, and Region SLO, the Central Coast’s brand new collective wine tasting room located on the grounds of the hotel, are debuting its first Rosé festival and fundraiser, Rosé the SLO Way, to kick off the acclaimed wine region’s Rosé season and raise funds for local charity. The event will take place in Hotel San Luis Obispo’s Garden Courtyard and surrounding grounds on Sunday, April 24 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
