FALL/WINTER 2017
JOIN US FOR ANOTHER
FESTIVE HOLIDAY SEASON
It's a great tIme of year to visit Wente Vineyards. the
holiday spirit is in the air and we're ready to help our guests
celebrate the season with fantastic food and delicious wines.
the festivities and opportunities abound.
you can start the season with Holidays in the Vineyards, an
annual event in early December where we will show-
case our artist series, small Lot and sparkling
wines, and offer arts and crafts, music from
local artists, and a visit from santa Claus.
Celebrating the holidays can be made even
more special with a meal at the restaurant at
Wente Vineyards with family and friends, or
you can hold a special occasion at the Wine-
makers studio, where guests can enjoy an inti-
mate dinner, private tastings and much more.
of course, every holiday table should have a nice bottle of
wine on it and in this edition of the grapevine you can find
three new releases to help you enjoy the season. finally, we'll
be celebrating Wine month in November, so remember that
you can visit the restaurant and select from more than 700
wines while you dine in and enjoy them at half price.
We look forward to seeing you at Wente Vineyards soon
and hope you have a wonderful holiday full of good cheer
and good wine.
