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.
