The owners of the red Saab featured in the 2004 film Sideways are partnering with Summer in the Park to raise funds to support the latter’s free summer camp program for children ages 3 to 13 in Los Alamos. The car will be on display at the Foxen Vineyard and Winery’s tasting room in Santa Maria on Saturday, May 11, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free but donations will be accepted.
Guests will have the opportunity to get their photos taken in the Saab, which was driven by Paul Giamatti’s character in the Central Coast-based comedy. The film was shot on location in Buellton, Solvang, Los Olivos, Santa Maria, and Lompoc and is credited for bringing worldwide attention to Santa Barbara County wine country.
The Foxen Vineyard and Winery’s tasting room, aka The Shack, is located at 7200 Foxen Canyon Road, Santa Maria. Call (805) 937-4251 or visit foxenvineyard.com to find out more.
