Imagine
getting away for one, two or three days in late June to:
sunshine
and mountains ...
a confluence of two rivers ...
a gentle breeze in the ponderosa pines ...
and a small old-time western town ...
for
a celebration of Washington wine! |

Come join us in Winthrop for Wine in
the Park and a series of wine events throughout the
weekend and the valley.
Wine
in the Park
- (Saturday June 20, 2-6 pm) - More than a tasting
...
We can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon
in June than sipping Washington's own wines, in a park by
the Methow River, while listening to live mellow jazz
music by the Lynette Westendorf Quartet, with Jim Knodle (trumpet),
Roger Vandivort (bass) and Mike Conrad (drums).
At
the Winthrop Wine Festival's Wine in the Park event, you will:
• Savor wines from Washington State boutique wineries
• Relax to soft jazz
• Enjoy hors d-oeuvres, cheese, fruits, and chocolate
(and fresh brewed gourmet coffee
• Meet the winemakers
• Come away with a commemorative wine glass
• Purchase bottles of your favorite wines that you just
tasted
