The 8th Annual Chula Vista Rotary Wine & Food Festival

It’s time for the South Bay’s most celebrated fundraiser, the one evening where residents and supporters of Chula Vista come together to indulge in a delight for the senses, while giving back to their community. That’s right, it’s the 8th Annual Chula Vista Rotary Wine & Food Festival presented by McMillin Realty and SHARP, held on Saturday, Aug. 28, from 6 to 9 p.m.

This elegant evening will combine fine wines and extraordinary cuisine with exciting entertainment to support the vital work of the Chula Vista Rotary Club. The Rotary Club will host a smorgasbord of taste sensations at the Otay Ranch Town Center, at Olympic Parkway and Eastlake Parkway.

More than 20 of Chula Vista’s most renowned restaurants will offer up enticing variations on house specialties and celebrated entrees while some of San Diego’s most revered wine proprietors showcase a variety of refreshing white and rich, flavorful red wines. If a touch of effervescence is more your speed, then be sure to sample the excellence of some of the most successful domestic and international brews from several renowned microbrewers and wind down your evening with one of the featured specialty cocktails provided by some of San Diego’s most elite liquor purveyors.

While the Chula Vista Rotary Wine & Food Festival is a splendid way to spend the evening, you can also rest easy knowing that you are doing something positive for the city of Chula Vista through the efforts of the beneficiary of the event, the Chula Vista Rotary Club. The club has provided more than $20,000 annually in scholarship and service programs at the local high school level and also through recreational and camp-related youth activities. While the Chula Vista Rotary Club is committed to the youth of this community, it also offers financial and physical support to other local programs including the Chula Vista Fire and Police Department, the Special Olympics, South Bay Family YMCA, and the South Bay Boys & Girls Club, along with recognition projects for nurses and teachers throughout the area.

Tickets to this evening of taste sensations are only $50 so get yours early, as space is limited. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.winetastechulavista.com.
