People didn\u2019t get the connections between their food and wine choices and the environment,\u201d says Kris Beal, Executive Director of the Vineyard Team, which founded the event and oversees the growing Sustainability in Practice (SIP) Certified program.<\/p>\n<p>Earth Day Food &amp; Wine was the first event to provide an opportunity for attendees to connect directly with local farmers, winemakers, and chefs in this unique format. The casual, low-key atmosphere has set this event apart from the start \u2013 and now <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1504422388\"><span class=\"aQJ\">10 years later<\/span><\/span>, the event has stayed true to its mission \u2013 sharing sustainable wine and food with hungry eaters and caring connoisseurs.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s festival \u2013 held \u201cUnder the Oaks\u201d on the green grounds of Castoro Cellars in Paso Robles \u2013 is a culmination of 10 years of honing this gathering of savvy eaters and drinkers and will be the best event yet.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a growing list of top chefs, farmers, food purveyors, wineries and brewers, Earth Day Food &amp; Wine will feature a Tesla auto exhibition, the Guerrilla Gardening Club,\u00a0 a SIP Pop-Up Bar where guests can enjoy SIP Certified wines, the KRUSH radio Beer Garden, and so much more. However, the event doesn\u2019t just celebrate sustainability, but also the next generation of passionate people. Event proceeds benefit the Vineyard Team\u2019s Spanish education programs and scholarships for relatives of farmworkers.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the history of Earth Day Food &amp; Wine, ticket sales and partnership opportunities, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/earthdayfoodandwine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">EarthDayFoodAndWine.org<\/a>.
