September 29, 2011 -- This Sunday, the Santa Monica Rotary Club is offering its guests jazz, wine and a chance to bid for a trip to Bali, all the while enjoying the ambience of the Annenberg Beach Club.

The Fourth Annual Santa Monica Wine and Jazz Festival is the Rotary Club's fundraiser for local and international organizations, including Santa Monica's Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, YWCA, the local school district and the pediatric ward at Children's Hospital of Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Guests will get to sample more than 50 wines from around the world paired with treats provided by Feast Catering. The Crossroads Jazz Band will provide a swinging accompaniment to the festivities.

Some of the items offered at the silent auction include a safari for two for six days and nights at the Zulu Nyala Game Lodge in South Africa, a week for two at Apa Kabar in Bali, and a seven night stay in Umbria, Italy in an apartment with views of the Tuscan Hills.

Closer to home, stays at the Fairmont Miramar, the Viceroy Hotel, Shutters on the Beach and Hotel Casa del Mar are up for grabs, as are a police ride-along and a fire station tour here in Santa Monica.

The festival runs from noon to 4 p.m. at the Annenberg Beach House at 415 Pacific Coast Highway. Tickets are $100 in advance and $125 at the door. Visit the event website to purchase tickets and for more information about the event.

The festival is sponsored by The Fairmont, LA Car Guy, St. John's Health Center, The Bradmore Group, Quigley and Co. and Santa Monica Ford.
