Wine with a Cause

Giving back to the San Luis Obispo Community

We have been very busy these past few months here at Claiborne and Churchill! With summer officially rolling in these next two days, here is a recap highlighting a few of our awesome partnerships in the community over these past few months.

Back in March, we teamed up with Phyllis Musical Revue  for the Diamonds and Pearls fashion show and donated wine benefiting the Woman’s Shelter.

April called for sloppy kisses and wagging tails for our “Wine for Paws Weekend” benefiting the Woods Humane Society.


Our very own Michelle and Emma loved hanging out with the dogs and serving wine at our Wine and Paws event!

The Woods Humane Society has tons of events throughout the year with different fundraisers and adoption opportunities. They even feature cat yoga!  Check out their event calendar for more details and dates.

At the beginning of June, we poured and donated wine for the Annual Afternoon of Epicurean Delights event with local social service organization, CAPSLO.  This year was the 30th anniversary of hosting this event at Pismo Beach!

In mid June, our very own Elizabeth Thompson teamed up with  local restaurant Luna Red and poured at The Big Event hosted by the Big Brothers and Big Sisters nonprofit of San Luis Obispo County.

Coming up on July 26th 2017, we will be partnering with Big Sky Café and pouring wine at the Benefit Dinner in the Plaza for the Festival Mozaic, a classical music festival held in downtown San Luis Obispo. The festival will begin July 19th through the 26th featuring an assortment of classical musicians, delicious food, and a wide variety of wines. The complete calendar can be found here.

We love being able to help out and extend our appreciation in the community. Our family here at Claiborne and Churchill has loved donating, pouring, and getting to meet the individuals who dedicate their time and energy into each of these different non profits and shelters.  We are so excited to keep exploring more opportunities in San Luis  Obispo and beyond!
