Events that make up the annual Big Sur Food & Wine Festival – which runs Thursday, Oct. 31-Saturday, Nov. 2 – generally sell out well in advance. As of press time, there are still a few tickets available for the Panel Tasting on the morning of Nov. 1 (good way to start a day) and Bubbles & Brushes on Nov. 2.
