The 14th annual \u201cA Taste of Santa Cruz,\u201d at the MAH from 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, features about 20 participating restaurants and food vendors plus several wineries and one brewery. This year, organizers switched the celebration from November to October and moved the time earlier, to take advantage of warmer weather. The event benefits first-time home buyers. Tickets are $50 in advance or $55 at the door if it\u2019s not sold out.<\/p>\n

The cost includes a commemorative glass plus tastings from all vendors. Participants will have the opportunity to sample lots of food and drinks including a new raw oyster bar on the third floor (the refreshments are spread across all three floors, and there\u2019s a wine bar at the museum\u2019s outdoor sculpture garden where attendees can purchase extra glasses of wine). Buy tickets online<\/a>, and visit atosc.com or call 831-464-2000 for more information.<\/p>\n

At the 2017 event, Splash! offered a tasty bite with house-smoked trout and tomato confit; Hula\u2019s served up a delicious Hawaiian Ceviche (fresh whitefish cooked in citrus with coconut milk, chili, cilantro, and garlic), and Buttercup handed out their always-fantastic cupcakes.<\/p>\n

Wineries include Alfaro Family Vineyard, Kissed by an Angel, Stockwell Cellars, Bargetto, Roudon Smith, 37th<\/sup> Parallel, DeVincenzi Cellars, McHenry Vineyard, and Loma Prieta. East Cliff Brewing Co. will be providing beer.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event is at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for the second consecutive year, and Habit for Humanity Monterey Bay is a presenting partner for the second year in a row. There will be live and silent auctions. Live auction items include an eight-day unique Hawaii vacation that includes three different places to stay, a Jeep rental, restaurants, beach adventures and a massage. Silent auction items include wine tasting, and excellent tickets to the first 2019 pre-season game for the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n

All proceeds from the event benefit the grant assistance program of the Santa Cruz Association of Realtors Housing Foundation<\/a>, which provides closing costs for first time, low-income home-buyers in Santa Cruz County. In 2017, the event sold out\u2014for the first time ever!\u2014and raised nearly $25,000. The Taste of Santa Cruz has raised almost $400,000 since its inception in 2004.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
