What are you doing Thanksgiving weekend? Do you want to escape your relatives? I have the perfect solution.
Five of our local wineries (and vineyards) are offering a barrel tasting on Saturday, Nov 29. You can visit Harmony Hill, Kinkead Ridge, Henke, Burnet Ridge, and Woodstone Creek. Taste the wine straight from the barrel! This is a neat opportunity, if you haven’t done it, and I highly recommend it. It’s also a great opportunity for some holiday shopping, if you have any wine afficianados in your life.
Don’t forget to check our maps page for directions to all the local wineries!
The Barrel Tasting only occurs on Nov 29, but several of the
locations will be open additional days throughout the holiday season.
Tasting fees run from around $3 to $15.
