Wine from Surf City Vintners<\/p><\/div>Surf City Vintners<\/a> is joining with Second Harvest Food Bank and a dozen local restaurants and food vendors for a party in Westside Santa Cruz on Saturday night. The second annual \u201cSunset at Surf City Vintners\/Food & Wine Faire\u201d benefits Second Harvest Food Bank. The goal is to raise enough funds for 9,600 meals for kids in Santa Cruz County who aren\u2019t getting enough regular meals while they are out of school this summer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually a two-night event: the first Food & Wine Faire is Saturday July 14 and the second one is being held August 18. Both are from 5:00 \u2013 8:00 p.m. in the parking lot near Copious Winery & Equinox at 427 Swift Street. Organizers refer to the event as a \u201cdinner market\u2026urban picnic\u2026and community banquet.\u201d See surfcityvintners.com for more information.<\/p>\n

The wineries of Surf City Vintners (see list below) will be selling wine, and restaurants\/food vendors will each sell their own dishes. There is no separate entry fee; you just pay for the specific foods and\/or drinks you select. Choose food from sellers like Stagnaro’s, Uncle Ro’s Pizza, Caf\u00e9 Iveta, Akira Sushi, Conscious Creations, Bruno\u2019s BBQ and True Olive Connection. There will also be an oyster bar from H&H Fresh Fish (read more on H&H in my article<\/a>). The restaurant Thai Orchid will participate on August 18, but not July 14.<\/p>\n

Attendees are encouraged to \u201cgo sustainable\u201d and bring their own plates, utensils, and wine glasses. The Cabrillo Jazz All Stars are providing live music.
