Davenport, Calif., —May 18, 2021 —Rachel and Ryan Beauregard, co-owners of Beauregard Vineyards in Bonny Doon, are pleased to finally open their coastside Slow Coast Wine Bar by Beauregard Vineyards in the charming coastal town of Davenport, just north of Santa Cruz. Offering indoor seated tasting at present, with bar service to be added as Covid restrictions are eased, every table enjoys an ocean view.
Hours for the Wine Bar, which serves as a second location to the Beauregard Tasting Room in the hamlet of Bonny Doon, are Thursday—Monday, 1pm—8pm, with last call at 7:30pm. Reservations are not required. Groups of up to 24 can reserve the entire space for private events at present, with the ability to accommodate up to 60 guests, once 100% occupancy is permitted by the County.
Beauregard’s Slow Coast Wine Bar is currently offering wines by the bottle, glass, and 1oz pours, allowing tasters to create their own flights. Current offerings include favorites like the 2018 Chardonnay Bald Mountain, 2018 Zinfandel Beauregard Ranch, 2020 Lost Weekend Rosé and 2018 Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountains.
Rachel Beauregard is spearheading the new venue, and couldn’t be happier to reopen. “With 2020 finally in the rear view mirror, and picking ourselves up from pandemic + wildfire trauma, our community is definitely ready to get out, celebrate and reconnect! We hope this space brings people together for sunsets and wine, birthdays, FriYAY afternoons with co-workers and friends, DJ’s, live music, dancing and all things celebratory. We are also excited to offer wine and cheese courses, in-depth vertical tastings, local pop-ups and more.”
Rachel has already curated an assortment of premium local products for the enjoyment of casual and regular visitors alike, including Tabitha Stroup’s Friend in Cheeses jams, Ashby Confections, Marini’s chocolates, Deerhaven soaps, local olive oils from Wild Poppies and more.
Winemaker Ryan Beauregard adds, “Our business plan for this space is to operate as an auxiliary tasting room, a wine bar, and a place for people to host private events. Our estate winery has become so busy recently that a second nearby location is a way to accommodate guests that we cannot serve adequately with our new appointment only, seated tastings with table service. “
The Slow Coast Wine Bar by Beauregard Vineyards is located at 450, CA-1, Davenport, CA, 95017. Tel: 831.600.7402
The Slow Coast Wine Bar occupies the site of the former Bonny Doon Vineyards Tasting Room, which shuttered in December of 2019. This is the second Bonny Doon property that Ryan and Rachel Beauregard have taken over, the first being their primary winemaking and tasting room facility on Pine Flat Road, which they purchased in 2008. They invite you to come to their new Slow Coast Wine Bar for the wine and stay for the views.
