Please note that most events at the Winery are OUTDOOR events, and take place in a grass ampitheatre.
We have some chairs available, but please bring your own if you do not wish to sit on the grass.
Chocolate and Red Wine Festival
As is our custom we will be pairing three wines with three chocolates from Schocolat over Valentine's Day/Presidents Day weekend. Last year one person commented that the chocolates from Schocolat were the best she had ever had. I would certainly agree that they are the best American made chocolates it has been my pleasure to try. We will be pairing wines with these chocolates during normal tasting room hours, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 11 AM to 6 PM.
The other Quincy area wineries will also be serving up chocolate on Saturday and Sunday. Both Cave B and Jones of Washington will be providing delectable tastes and heading towards Wenatchee Martin Scott will of course be their usual hospitable selves. All the Wenatchee, Leavenworth, and Chelan wineries will also be geared up with chocolate so drop in here on your way to just about anywhere.
