To whet your appetite, a few of the wineries pouring will be Husch, Meyer Family Cellars, Graziano, Brutocao, Twomey, Barra, SeaWolf, Seebass and Fathers and Daughters. Keep watching for the full list coming soon!
You can enjoy these wines while perusing some of the local shops and galleries, such as Prentice Gallery, Highlight Gallery,Gallery Bookshop, Astoria Home Store, and Mendocino Sandpiper . Also the trolley will take you to the tastings at the Sea Rock Inn, Seagull Inn, Meyer Family Cellars, Century 21, Engle & Volkers Real Estate, and Pamela Hudson Real Estate.
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND this year is the CHOWDER TASTING EVENT! Yes!! We will be once again, offering the best of the coast restaurants and culinary delights with chowder of all varieties that you can sample and also vote on for a People's Choice Award! Come early as this event sells out quickly!
