Wine always tastes a little better when you don’t have to stare at a parking lot through the window. On September 12, the 24th annual Two Harbors Wine Fest returns to Catalina Island with an afternoon of pours from local and international wineries, live music, complimentary bites and a silent auction, all set right on the beach. The 21-and-over event is a solid excuse to swap city noise for ocean breezes—plus a boat ride home that will feel just a bit livelier than the trip over.
