"In the past six years, Sip & Shuck has become one of the most popular events in Laguna Beach, and beyond! This year, we will once again benefit a local Orange County group, CASA, which is dedicated to helping children in need," commented Director of Operations John Nye. “With expectations set even higher for this year’s event, we are going to focus on sourcing an incredible array of fresh oysters, pouring terrific champagnes, wines and spirits, and presenting lively entertainers. As always, guests can look forward to a few surprises along the way.” In the last two years our partnership with CASA helped us to raise 65,000 dollars.
