Father\u2019s Day 2016 is now three days away; have you made your plans? Here are details on a few options in Santa Cruz and nearby including restaurants and wine events. If you missed my first Father’s Day post, here are highlights for San Francisco, Monterey\/Carmel Valley\/Pebble Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SANTA CRUZ
\nThe Chaminade<\/strong>
\nThe Chaminade<\/a> (One Chaminade Lane) serves a decadent Father\u2019s Day brunch buffet from 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m; the price is $52.95 (adults), $18.95 (kids 6-12), and free for kids under 6. The menu includes grilled steak with Churassco sauce, prime rib, an omelet bar, eggs benedict, cheese blintzes, fresh fruit, a cheese display, and a delectable selection of pastries and desserts.\u00a0 Children’s dishes include chicken strips and curly fries, mini pancakes, and macaroni and cheese. Call (831) 475-5600 for reservations.<\/p>\n

Food Lounge<\/strong>
\nThe Santa Cruz Food Lounge<\/a> (1001 Center St.) has a couple different highlights for Father\u2019s Day weekend:
\n\u2022 Summer Beer Garden debut<\/em>
\nAll day Saturday and Sunday June 18-19, it\u2019s the first of the Food Lounge\u2019s summer beer garden series. Each month, on the third weekend, the lounge, FL will serve German-style food and local beer on the spacious outdoor patio. There will also be live music, and it\u2019s pet- and family-friendly. Free admission; attendees just pay for food and drinks.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Father\u2019s Day gifts<\/em>
\nAll dads who visit the Summer Beer Garden from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday receive a free gift.<\/p>\n

Soif<\/strong>
\nSoif Wine Bar & Restaurant<\/a> (105 Walnut Ave.) will host European winemakers Johannes Selbach and Vincent Brundlmayer 1-3 p.m. Sunday for a taste of German and Austrian wines, including Rieslings. Tickets are $15 and include bread and snacks. Wine club members get one free entry. Call (831) 423-2020 or email alyssa@soifwine.com to reserve a tasting.<\/p>\n

MOSS LANDING
\nThe Haute Enchilada<\/strong>
\nWhile the Haute Enchilada Caf\u00e9<\/a> (7902 Moss Landing Rd., 831-633-5843) doesn\u2019t have a special \u201cFather\u2019s Day menu,\u201d it would still make a great place for Father\u2019s Day lunch. I ate lunch there in March; it was a perfect stop during a drive from Santa Cruz to Carmel Valley and I really enjoyed the food (as I have the other times I\u2019ve gone, once for lunch and once for dinner). During my March lunch, I ordered roasted chile poblano bisque and Brussels sprout salad. For the salad, locally grown sprouts are steamed and saut\u00e9ed in olive oil with garlic, and mixed with organic arugula, bacon, Parmesan, toasted walnuts and walnut oil\/chile de arbol dressing. I had a bite of my husband\u2019s Pork Cubano during lunch and it was equally divine. I have to also mention a fantastic dish that I had during an August 2015 dinner: Peruvian empanadas stuffed w\/squash blossoms, zucchini, ricotta and topped with chile de Arbol aioli. Looking at the web site just now, it appears this is currently on the lunch menu and not the dinner menu.<\/p>\n

Another note of interest: Haute Enchilada recently received a 2016 Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor.The achievement celebrates hospitality businesses such as eateries and accommodations that have earned great reviews on TripAdvisor over the past year. To qualify, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor \u201cbubble rating\u201d of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.<\/p>\n

LOS GATOS\/SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS
\nSummit Wineries<\/strong>
\nThe Summit Wineries<\/a> are offering the fifth annual \u201cSolstice on the Summit\u201d Vintners Festival on Father\u2019s Day weekend. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, June 18-19. A $25 ticket includes a wine glass and is good for admission both days at all five participating wineries (Burrell School, Silver Mountain, Villa del Monte, Wrights Station, and Muns Vineyard\u2014the latter will be at The Summit Store on Sunday only).
