Saturday, August 8, is the one-year anniversary of the opening of Aptos\u2019 Cantine Winepub<\/a>, and it\u2019s celebrating with a day of special pop-ups with local winemakers, brewers and cider producers.<\/p>\n

Owner Jason McKay is very excited about this milestone, as it\u2019s the realization of a lifelong dream for him\u2014one in which he would create a space for people to come together, enjoy great wine and beer, connect, and relax. \u201cIt\u2019s been a great first year \u2013 being part of the Aptos and Santa Cruz Community,\u201d says McKay.<\/p>\n

On Saturday afternoon, attendees can enjoy music from DJ Dustbowl aka Amee Chapman plus wine tasting with Sante Arcangeli<\/a>. The evening festivities will feature live music by El Quarto Verde, beer tasting with Uncommon Brewers, and cider samples from Reef Points Hard Cider.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unfamiliar with Cantine, it offers a diverse range of wines, craft beers and artisan foods in a comfortable lounge setting. The winepub traditionally offers six to eight wines on tap, with a featured wine-by-the-glass menu that changes daily. This way, frequent customers always have something new to try on each visit. Recent options have included wines from Alfaro<\/a>, Kathryn Kennedy<\/a>, Big Basin, Salmandre, and Force of Nature.<\/p>\n

The winepub\u2019s food menu features tapas that are designed for sharing. These are created using seasonal ingredients. Selections may include cheese and charcuterie trays; Kelly\u2019s Bakery<\/a> focaccia; house-made meatballs in slow-roasted tomato sauce; tortilla Espanola with sherry-braised onions, manchego, and chorizo; marinated kale salad; and roasted beets and fennel with crumbled goat cheese and citrus balsamic dressing.<\/p>\n

In addition to wine, there are eight domestic craft brews on tap (Discretion Brewing<\/a>, Sante Adairus, and more) and over twenty beers, ciders, mead and other beverages by the bottle.<\/p>\n
