Bridlewood Estate Winery Launches Unique Collaboration With California Central Coast Artists to Debut "Bridlewood Gallery"
Partnership celebrates the distinct art and wines of the region
SANTA YNEZ VALLEY, Calif., June 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridlewood® Estate Winery, the premier artisan winery along California's Central Coast, announced today it has partnered with Central Coast Gallery, a virtual art gallery which features work from artists of the area, to showcase the distinct and approachable works crafted by the region's talented artisans. Nine local artists who represent a variety of media – from acrylic and oil to watercolor and photography – have created unique pieces inspired by the art of winemaking on California's Central Coast. The works have been compiled into a collection called the "Bridlewood Gallery" and will be on display at the Bridlewood Estate through December, 2011.
California's Central Coast is a burgeoning appellation stretching 250 miles between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. The more than 100,000 acres of vineyards dotting the Central Coast produce a diverse array of varietals and wine styles, yet remain somewhat undiscovered.
"There is something unique about this area that inspires different people in different ways," said David Hopkins, Bridlewood winemaker. "Bridlewood wines reflect the adventurous spirit and relaxed lifestyle of the Central Coast."
From the rocky beaches of Big Sur, the picturesque Monterey Bay and the expansive harbor in Santa Barbara, it's no wonder artists are also attracted to this area.
"The natural beauty of the Central Coast influences many of our artists," said Fred Ventura, Founder of Central Coast Gallery. "We're honored to be invited by Bridlewood to create works for the Bridlewood Gallery that celebrate the art and wine from this region."
Located 30 miles north of Santa Barbara in Santa Ynez Valley, Bridlewood's 40-acre estate vineyard provides a majestic backdrop to its inviting tasting room.
