All Corked Up Wine Festival to Benefit the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center

What can be more relaxing than strolling through a European garden, swirling a deep red glass of merlot, enjoying a cool, fruity Sauvignon Blanc or tasting a rich buttery chardonnay? How about adding the tempting foods of the region to compliment each glass of wine. Add all of that to the knowledge that with each sip of the flavorful grape you are helping to support our valley’s seniors.

You’ll get that feeling and more when you “Uncork Your Senses” this summer on August 19 at the Saugus Speedway.

Sponsored by All Corked Up, the full-service premier wine merchant and storage facility located at Center Pointe Business Park, this one-day, all-encompassing Wine Festival will take you around the globe as your passport to fabulous grapes from various regions. Hailing from sunny California to the Australian coast, vintners will present some of their finest wine for tasting. On hand will be experts in the field who will provide plenty of wine knowledge. Each section of the Wine Festival will be centered on the region of the wines and will be complimented by mouth-watering foods provided by local restaurants and caterers.

All profits from the festival will benefit the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center.

“This is an event that has never been done in California,” said Yoon Lee, proprietor for ACU. “Typically you never have these high-end vintners coming out to festivals. It’s going to be pretty phenomenal.”

Yoon said paring foods with beautiful wines will make festival goers experience the same feeling as if they were in Italy, Napa or Washington State. “It’s a great opportunity to get people out and enjoy their wines,” she said. “Whether you are a novice or a wine connoisseur, you will enjoy this festival.”

Passports will be given to each festival participant along with a buffet plate and wine glass. Ten tickets are included to be used for the wine and food at each station. Upon completion of the trip around the globe, those passports can be presented for a t-shirt that reads “I Went Around the World with All Corked Up.”

Several high-end retailers and art dealers will be on hand to whet your shopping appetite and throughout the evening the air will be alive the calming rhythm of live Blues bands. Raffles will be held during the event giving festival goers an opportunity to win magnums of wine and other goodies.

Entrance in to the Wine Festival is $55, but if you are a member of the All Corked Up Wine Club you will receive a $10 discount and VIP parking. As an added treat, a Gaja master Sommelier from Italy is flying in to pour in the VIP wine tent, Yoon said.

Santa Clarita Valley senior citizens not only benefit from this festival, but many have signed on to assist with the event. “We have many senior volunteers working throughout the night,” Yoon said. “They said they are happy to help and are hard workers. The always ask what more they can do.”

The Wine Festival will take place from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. For more information regarding the festival, visit the All Corked Up website at www.allcorkedup.com.
