THE WANDERLUST FOOD EXPERIENCE

We've got many exciting things planned on the food front for 2010.  First off, we're proud to announce the 2nd annual Fire & Ice Dinner, a grand feast for the Wanderlust community served at 8,200' at High Camp.  Beyond our community fine dining experience, expect the following additions to the food experience:

• On-site Farmer's Market selling local produce and locally prepared foods;
• Working with Village restaurants to design a locally-sourced and healthy "Wanderlust Menu" at each participating locale;
• Handpicked food vendors will serve quick and convenient organic items like sandwiches, burritos, and soups;
• Expansion of options for breakfast items and coffee & tea.

WINE EVENTS

Wanderlust will offer a series of wine tastings from Thursday, July 29th through Saturday, July 31. The tastings will be hosted at Kali Kopley’s Uncorked, a fantastic wine store located centrally in the Kula Village.

OFFICIAL WINES OF WANDERLUST

RED ROCK WINERY Wanderlust is proud to work with Red Rock as the official red wine of the festival. Red Rock offers a balanced wine with a delicate harmony of body and flavor in every sip.  Red Rock's Merlot and Malbec wines will be served at  bars around The Pulse main stage area and in late-night venues.

UKIAH CELLARS We’re also thrilled to be working with Ukiah Cellars as the official white wine of the festival.  These are everyday wines: crisp, light, food-friendly, and inspired by the Mendocino County community's high standards for land stewardship and maintenance of its rustic beauty.  Ukiah sources grapes from the small, family-run farms that participate in the Wine Institute's Sustainable Winegrowing Program.  Ukiah Chardonnay will be served at all Wanderlust bar locations.
