The annual Santa Maria Tri-Tip Cookoff at Presqu'ile is a community-favorite celebration of Central Coast barbecue and local flavor. This year's event brings together several standout teams of master grillers, including last year's winners, the Santa Maria Grill Masters, and newcomers Priedite. Taste through each grill team's spin on Santa Maria-style Tri-Tip, and enjoy all the fixin's from Estate Chef Julie Simon, before casting your vote to help crown this year's People's Choice Tri-Tip Winner!
This year, we're kicking the local flavor up a notch further. Ruben Lee Dalton and the Offshores will take the stage in our hillside amphitheatre, keeping the energy high all afternoon.
Your favorite Presqu’ile wines will be available for purchase by the glass and by the bottle.
Come hungry. Stay for the music, the energy, and a Santa Maria tradition (served with a side of friendly competition)
