The inaugural Tides & Terroir weekend…

🎥 by @dgsc

Brought to you by @slhwine at the historic @visitasilomar grounds on an unseasonably warm weekend…

Over 300 attendees, 25+ wineries, 18+ chefs, and an array of local artists and vendors came to savor the day.

And as all weekends should start, we were splashed with @privatepropertywines bubbles by @caracciolicellars.

A coastal vibey soundtrack by Rory Lynch…

While Monterey culinary scene’s newest member @nicekidpizza brought nothing but seasonal local ingredients to their bite.

And we dared to fire up the grill in this heatwave…

While local artist @bekahbullart of @highflow____ performed a live art installation on donated boards by @boyntonsurfboards. Proceeds supported the Monterey State Historic Park Association.

Our favorite descriptor of the weekend was “dreamy adult picnic”…

The option to keep shade with custom hats by @hamiltonhatlounge.

Toro Sushi of Carmel serves up yellowfin tuna on a wonton chip with seaweed salad and sriracha mayo.

For those who may not know about our backyard, Asilomar State Beach and Conference Grounds has a history rooted in indigenous stewardship, women’s leadership, and landmark architecture.

Chef @jdmejia84 of @budsatlaplaya grilled up branzino with honeynut squash over fennel citrus salad.

The day felt truly organic between attendees and makers.

Indian summer brought record breaking temperatures into the 90s which truly made for such a spectacular day here on the coast.

There was the opportunity to chat with your favorite winemakers such as @rusty0106 of @joycewinecompany.

The origin of the name Asilomar came from a Stanford student in 1913…

…a portmanteau of the Spanish words asilo (refuge) and mar (sea), meaning “refuge by the sea”.

The 107-acre property protects fragile coastal dune ecosystems and the Asilomar Dunes Natural Preserve.

Thank you @visitasilomar for sharing this beautiful property with us and we look forward to sharing 2027 dates for Tides & Terroir!
