5th Annual Slug Fest
This annual event will take place this year on Saturday and Sunday August 4th & 5th from 11:00 to 5:00 on both days. Colibri Ridge and dkcellars have asked our neighboring winery Perry Creek to pinch-hit in place of Oakstone/Obscurity Cellars, due to the disastrous fire that occurred at Oakstone Winery. Since Perry Creek's property/vineyards adjoins both Colibri Ridge's and dkcellar's properties it was a logical fit, therefore keeping the Slug Gulch theme alive this year. Rest assured, Oakstone/Obscurity will be back in the future.
Each winery will be featuring wines that are made from the grapes grown from these estate vineyards. Light appetizers will also be served at each winery. To ease the burden on our dishwashers there is a $5.00 charge for the commemorative glass, which will be waived when returning with a previous years SlugFest glass.
We look forward to seeing you next weekend.
