NEW! Harvest Moon Lounge presented by Half Moon Bay Winery
Take a break from the buzz of the festival and settle into the Harvest Moon Lounge, located at Kelly & Main in the heart of it all. With comfortable seating, nearby live music, and easy access to the new wine booth, it’s the perfect spot to relax, connect, and enjoy a glass of local wine.
This year, festivalgoers can sip Half Moon Bay Winery’s Pumpkin Festival-label Monterey Red Blend (2022) — a commemorative release made just for the event. With rich flavors of plum, black cherry, and raspberry, and smooth notes of chocolate and vanilla, it’s a wine made for sharing during a coastal fall day. Bottles will also be available to take home at the Pumpkin Festival merchandise booth.
Also featured is the fresh and lively 2024 Monterey Sauvignon Blanc, with bright flavors of green apple, gooseberry, and lemon. Crisp and refreshing, it’s a perfect pairing for the festival’s famous seafood and fresh coastal fare.
Both wines will be poured by the glass ($10 per commemorative festival logo glass, $10 per pour) at wine booths hosted by the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce, just steps away from the lounge.
Half Moon Bay Winery, founded by longtime Main Street preservationist Joe Cotchett, is dedicated to crafting wines that reflect the spirit of the Coastside — wines made to enjoy with the region’s signature produce and seafood, and wines that bring people together at events like this one.
So grab a glass, take a seat, and soak up the art, music, and flavors of Half Moon Bay.
