Two fabulous individuals collide into one tonight at the SeaVenture Restaurant.  Toty Viola acclaimed jazz guitarist and vocalist, known for his authentic international flavor, originally from Italy, landing in Florida and now settling down on the Central Coast makes his premiere performance tonight in our ocean view restaurant.  You can find out more about Toty at www.totyviola.com

And Chronic Cellars, featuring winemaker, Josh Beckett originating from Peachy Canyon Winery will be out pouring his most delightfully tasty blends.  I have had the opportunity to personally sample some of his wines and they are original and complex and very good drinking, and besides that, his wine labels are fun and fascinating.  If you aren’t able to make it out to the SeaVenture Restaurant tonight, make sure to stop by his tasting room off Nacimiento Lake Drive in Paso Robles and try a few of his wines out.  Definately worth your while.  Take a look at his website www.chroniccellars.com for upcoming fun events.

All this is happening tonight from 5 - 8 pm, in the oceanview SeaVenture Restaurant.  Complimentary wine tasting and music.  Stay for dinner, enjoy the sunset and start your weekend off right.

This Friday, February 12th kicks off our Friday Wine Nights.  This was a huge success through the late summer and fall and we are looking forward to branching out to many other local area wineries, so look forward to exciting things to be happening.  Vina Robles will be pouring this Friday.  They are a Paso Robles winery, in a beautiful oak studded location directly off of Highway 46 East. 

 A little something from their website http://www.vinarobles.com in regards to their wines: The wines reflect the terroir that is Paso Robles, the warm climate delivering rich, sweet fruit with ripe rounded tannins. Vina Robles wines are modern, emphasizing fruit intensity, balance and accessibility. Lush and seductive upon release, they will hold well for a number of years and will continue to develop complexity with cellaring.

Frank Lucio, a local saxophonist will be playing to add atmosphere to your wine sipping.  The event takes place from 5 pm - 8 pm and is a free event that includes 3 tasting tickets per attendee.  There is really no other way to start off the Valentine’s Weekend better.  Take your Sweetheart out for a sunset at the beach, sip Vina Robles wine, maybe even completely treat your taste buds with dinner at the SeaVenture Restaurant.  It should be a splendid evening.

It is always wonderful when a travel writer makes it to your resort and is able to truly experience everything the resort is able to offer to its guests.  Sometimes travel writers are unable to make it to a property to have a personal experience. What other way than experiencing it for yourself, is a better way to convey your message to your audience?  In December, we had the pleasure of accommodating Charlene Mixa, and author for TravelRoads.com.  She was kind enough to complete this article  id_2034 and post it for us.  We wanted to share her take on the resort and the surrounding Pismo Beach area.  Hopefully you can all make it to have your very own personal experience to share with family, friends and the like.  Hope to see you soon to experience all that Pismo Beach has to offer.

Can you believe that Thanksgiving will be here in a matter of days.  Soon we will be feasting on turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and endless pumpkin pie.  Then what comes next is rounding the corner into Christmas.  Fall has treated us well here at SeaVenture Resort.  Beautiful warm fall weather has made for the perfect opportunity for pristine beach walks, off shore winds have provided the most sparkling blue ocean and cloudless nights have allowed for delightful star gazing.  The monarch butterflies are up to a count of close to 9,000, more this year than last year, and the grove is just minutes away from the resort, we also have a great package running to take advantage of this most phenomenal occurence.  We are offering a 3 course Thanksgiving Feast from 1 - 7 pm with all the festive fare.  Fall is a fabulous time of year to visit the beach, please come see us, stop by and say Hi after a stroll on the beach, or catch an early sunset sipping a cocktail or a local glass of wine at the bar.  Holiday Cheers!

SeaVenture Resort is celebrating California’s Wine Month with Wine Month Fridays and this past Friday’s kick off was a wonderful success.  Every Friday in September, local wineries will be pouring complimentary tastings from 5:30 - 7:30 and we have local live music from 5:30 - 8:30 pm. 

The weather could not have been more perfect, and about fifty guests came out to indulge on Tolosa Winery pouring tastes of some of their most perfect creations.  Local to SeaVenture’s music scene, Tim Jackson rocked the deck overlooking Pismo Beach.  Many guests stayed on for dinner as well, and took the opportunity to watch the sunset over the Pacific.

Wine Month Fridays continue, with Wolff Winery and CT and Tommy Lee this Friday, September 11th, Chamisal/Domaine Alfred with Louie Ortega on September 18th and Wood Winery with Tim Jackson back for a second time on September 25th.

Come enjoy with us, the sun, good sips and live music….and all for free.  Hope to see you all the next go around.

Just two more days till the famous Pismo Beach festivities take place again.  People come from far and near to crowd the beach in front of the SeaVenture Resort on 4th of July.  There is something about planting yourself in the sand for the whole day and as night falls upon the beach being able to relax and look up at the fireworks shooting up over your head from off the pier.  What could be more American?

The restaurant is pretty well booked with about 120 covers for the evening, probably the best place on the Central Coast to watch the fireworks show, with our full ocean view glass windows that look out to it all and the two terraces to enjoy a drink and take it all in.

We are now officially in the 7th month of the year, 2009 is officially half way over, and even though it may seem like a rough year for some, I think we are all proud to call ourselves Americans and have the luxury to lay in the sand, enjoy our day with friends and family and look back at all the wonderful things that we do have in our lives.

Happy 4th of July!

Summer here at SeaVenture has started off right.  From this past weekends Classic Car Show to the weekend before Cal Poly Graduation the city has been filled with out of town guests clamoring for a bowl of Splash Cafe’s Clam Chowder or sitting at our bar, 3 floors up from the beach enjoying some Central California wine and soaking in the view. 

Our Sundays on the Deck series has started off with local favorites, Louie Ortega, C.T. and Tommy Lee, Dan Wilson and Tim Jackson.  Sundays from 2-6 pm, you can join us on the deck overlooking Pismo Beach for music, small plates and cocktails.

Dad’s were treated right over the weekend with our Father’s Day Menu Brunch… and a good crowd turned out for the music.

Next big party, July 4th!  More news to come!

Here are the SeaVenture we are looking forward to the early time change this year, this Sunday, March 8th!  Spring feels like it is just around the corner… all the hills surrounding Pismo Beach are a beautiful shade of green from our most recents rains and all the blossoms are starting to pop, the beach looks like it has been freshly bathed and we are all just itching for longer days!  Come enjoy one of those later sunsets and stop in to dine of the incredible Spring Savings menu.  Two and Three Course meals starting at $28!  Hope to see you here soon to enjoy our ocean views!
