Great Escape: Festival Sans Mosh Pit

Festivals seem to be all the rage these days but they seem to be held in some remote part of our great state that entails lots of driving, even more traffic, and most likely an overnight stay in a hotel. And then you’ve got to navigate the mosh pit once you arrive…

Well, now you can jump on the trend bandwagon all in the comfort of your own city courtesy of the fun folks at Drink: Eat: Play! They are hosting their opening summer wine festival on our lovely . For $50, you’ll get to sample a wide variety of wines from around the world. Oh, did I mention the scrumptious desserts? Yep, wine, dessert, our beautiful pier…and not a mosh pit to be found.

So send the kids over to the grandparents to watch Max and Ruby (perhaps they can solve the mystery of their missing in action parents) while you taste wine from Brazil and nibble a luscious chocolate tart! Oh dear—no one to watch the children while you gaze at the sunset from our historic pier? Check out BabySitterSantaMonica.com!
