Windfall Farms to Auction Luxurious Weekend Getaway At Paso Robles Wine Festival's Auction & Dinner

May 5, 2011 - PRLog -- PASO ROBLES, CALIF.--The 300 guests at the 29th Annual Paso Robles Wine Festival's Wine Country Auction and Dinner will be sipping fine wine from Riedel glasses courtesy of Windfall Farms and bidding on a luxurious weekend getaway at the exclusive equestrian and agrarian community. The May 21 dinner is part of a three-day wine event (May 20 -22), showcasing wines from Paso Robles winemakers. Windfall Farms is the official glass sponsor.

   The winning bidder will receive a weekend for four couples at Windfall Farms' 10,000 square foot residence. Upon arrival, they will get their bearings around the Farm with a hayride tour of the estate followed by dinner at the Creston favorite, The Loading Chute. They will rise and shine Saturday morning to a full breakfast spread before joining Breakaway Tours for a full day of wine tasting. They'll take a break from tasting with a tour and lunch at Thomas Hill Organics Farm with lunch prepared from ingredients found right on the farm. Finally, they'll finish their day back at Windfall Farms with a dinner prepared by Ted and Lisa Plemons of Cass Winery paired with a selection of their favorite Cass wines.

   Windfall Farms, with its 720-acre of rolling hills and agricultural land just outside of Paso Robles, is owned by Limoneira Company , a leading agribusiness with prime agricultural land and operations, real estate and water rights throughout California. The property, which currently offers 10-acre or more homesites, includes a stallion barn, paved roads, water wells, irrigation piping, stables, the main residence and a world class racetrack. Its foaling barn was the site of 16 foal births this spring.

    A portion of the proceeds from the Wine Country Auction goes to San Luis Obispo charities that support healthcare, education and greater community services. Last year, $68,000 went to nonprofit charitable groups.

   Windfall Farms hosts charity functions, wine tastings, business events and corporate retreats throughout the year. "It's important to be connected to the community," says Greg Boyd, general manager of Windfall Investors LLC. "Windfall Farms' beautiful grounds and facilities are natural backdrops to meet the needs of businesses and community organizations."

   The Paso Robles Wine Festival is the marquee tasting event held along California's Central Coast. The annual festival is always held the third weekend in May and offers guests the opportunity to taste Paso Robles wine in the town's Downtown City Park. The Wine Festival is complete with winemaker dinners, live music and open house festivities at area wineries throughout Paso Robles Wine Country.
