Staff Report
Atascadero Lakeside Wine Passport
Sponsorship Presentation
RECOMMENDATION:
Review and provide direction for the Atascadero Lakeside Wine Passport sponsorship
program.
DISCUSSION:
Each year, the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce manages the Central Coast Reserve
Weekend’s events including the main event, the Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival. Due to
COVID-19, we are planning to introduce a Wine Passport in lieu of the Wine Festival for 2021
and bring back the event in-person in 2022. The Chamber and the Atascadero Lakeside Wine
Festival Committee are working together to promote the “Atascadero Lakeside Wine Passport”
in an effort to stay top-of-mind and encourage visitors to get out and explore the variety of
wineries in our area.
This year, the Wine Festival Committee will launch the new passport prior to what would be
the regular Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival event with the “Wine Passport” deals to officially
begin on Saturday, June 26. The passport will offer a variety of wineries (12), breweries (5),
and cider (1) to enjoy with a complimentary tasting for two people and a 10% discount on
beverage purchases. It will also offer that the corkage fee be waived at restaurants, restaurant
and boutique shop discounts along with hotel packages will also be included. In addition, it will
offer a discount to the 2022 Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival at a 50% off savings. The
passport will be good for 6 months or 12 months. This will encourage people to visit the wineries
and breweries that are a part of the passport and enjoy our area.
The Atascadero Lakeside Wine Passport presentation will provide an overview of the details
of the passport program.
FISCAL IMPACT (2801):
$5,000.
