Minimal Footprint
The Earth Day Food & Wine Festival is proud of its commitment to host a zero-waste event. In 2011, the event generated less than 2lbs of trash for over 1,000 visitors. Take a look at the 2011 Waste Management photos.
The sound stage is powered by the sun, compliments of Pacific Energy Company.
The food provided by local chefs and farmers is served on and with recyclable and compostable plates, bowls, forks, and spoons. Appropriate disposal containers, provided by Paso Robles Waste Disposal, are accessible throughout the event. A team of volunteers is on site, managing the recycling and compost project; they can answer any questions you may have.
We have a plastic reduction policy and ask guests to drink water from their commemorative wineglass. The event's program is produced using post-consumer recycled content and the entertainment stage is solar powered.
We ask that guests help with our low traffic committment. There is a countywide shuttle available for $10 per person. Parking is limited at the event and available for $25 per car on a first-come, first-serve basis - ADVANCE TICKETS REQUIRED.
