Tablas Creek > Our Story > In Our Community

Tablas Creek is proud of its participation in the life of the Paso Robles Community and beyond.  Major organizations that we support include:

The Foundation for the Performing Arts Center supports our wonderful performance venue on the campus of Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. The PAC provides our community the opportunity to attend performances of Broadway Theater, symphony orchestras, revues, stand-up comedy, and other live attractions. It also serves to give local groups a professional performance stage on which to show their talent. Tablas Creek is a founding member of the Winery Partners of the Foundation, a group now in its third year, which makes yearly substantial contributions in recognition of the importance of the venue to the county's cultural life and of the wineries in the county's economic vitality.

The Paderewski Festival of Paso Robles is a world-class musical event in Paso Robles celebrating the history, life and musical artistry of one of its most famous residents: Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Through the organization and promotion of events, performances and competitions, all of which are free of charge to the public, the Paderewski Festival seeks to encourage, motivate and recognize the achievements and the development of young piano performers, educate the public about the connection Paderewski had to Paso Robles, and expand the size, scope and quality of public performances for musicians on the Central Coast.

Founded in 1971 as the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, Festival Mozaic is a celebration of five centuries of music held year-round in spectacular venues on California's picturesque Central Coast. From Bach and beyond to Mozart and more, our world-class Festival presents diverse programs and dynamic international artists in chamber music and orchestral concerts, early music ensembles, and unique performances that combine classical training with jazz and world music.

The Central Coast Shakespeare Festival is committed to providing professional, entertaining productions of Shakespeare's work as well as other timeless and classical stories. It presents live outdoor Shakespeare and other classic plays at the River Oaks Amphitheater in Paso Robles.

We also participate with other members of the Far Out Wineries in support of the Wellness Community of the Central Coast and with much of the California wine community in supporting the many charities funded by the Central Coast Wine Classic.

Within the wine community, our founder, Bob Haas, is a board member of the Paso Robles AVA Committee, the group that has been working to reclassify the Paso Robles American Viticultural Area (AVA) into 12 new AVAs that will better define the origins of our wines to the consumer, and GM Jason Haas serves on the board of directors of the Rhone Rangers (dedicated to promoting the grapes and wines made from American-grown Rhone varieties) and the Family Winemakers of California, and on the marketing committee of the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance.

May 16, 2012
