Costa de Oro Winery

The winery prides itself on using the artistry of old-world winemaking styles and new-world grape-growing practices. The New York Times calls their Santa Maria tasting room “the most unique on the Central Coast.” Costa de Oro has received many awards for several of their wines, which you can now enjoy in their unique tasting room facing the Santa Maria mountains.

Bottle Artwork
The bottle showcases mural artwork by the Curbside Collective, a team of alumni artists from the Class of 2022 — Jacob Johanson, Jack Alving, and Bobby Sutton — mentored by Macha Suzuki, clinical assistant professor of studio arts at LMU. Created in 2022, the mural celebrates the dynamic interplay that arises when individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences come together to form a shared community of listening, learning, collaboration, and creativity. This vibrant and bold mural, which resides in the William H. Hannon Library media lounge, mirrors the character of the GSM wine blend it adorns.
