The next time wine tasters visit Presqu’ile Winery, they can collect artwork from a coin-operated mini print vending machine. It’s the latest effort from the winery to involve creativity with its food and wine offerings.
Created by artist Ana Inciardi, the machine is the first of its kind at a winery in the U.S., according to press materials. Passersby can collect surprise linocut prints inspired by wine and food, chosen by the quarter-operated machine reminiscent of ones that spit out temporary tattoos. Over the past few years, Inciardi has installed hundreds of mini art vending machines across the country.
“We’re excited to offer our guests another tactile, creative way to engage with the estate,” winery co-founder Matt Murphy said in press materials. “The Inciardi machine is playful, thoughtful, and very much aligned with how we think about hospitality.”
Inciardi offers artwork tied to the Santa Maria Valley’s landscape and culture, giving visitors a reason to return to Presqu’ile each season to collect new designs.
Find the art vending machine at the Presqu’ile Winery tasting room, located at 5391 Presqu’ile Drive in Santa Maria. The winery is open on weekends from 12 to 5 p.m. but closed on Tuesdays. Weekend hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
