2014otmtree

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over, but there is still time to find that special gift for everyone on your list.

Twenty-six Lake County wine producers will offer wines, gift ideas, and food pairings for you to enjoy as you sip, savor and shop at the third annual Give the Gift of Wine Holiday Open House this weekend, Dec. 5 and 6.

Participating locations will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In addition to wine sales and gift ideas, the best deal of the year for two-day passport tickets for the 2016 Wine Adventure will be available.

The Holiday Open House is free. To see a full list of this year’s participating locations, visit www.lakecountywineries.org/holiday .

“The Give the Gift of Wine weekend is lots of fun. It is a great opportunity to shop local this year. Get in the holiday mood and finish off your day with the light parades in Kelseyville on Friday night and Upper Lake on Saturday night,” said Lake County Winery Association Director Terry Dereniuk.

Lake County’s wineries have been planning this special weekend for months. Whether you want to treat yourself to an afternoon of wine tasting, still have names on your gift list, or are in the market for wine deals for your holiday celebrations, this is the weekend!

Enjoy barrel tastings at Olof Cellars. Meet winemaker Amy Thorn for a special holiday bottle signing at Thornhill. Sip the wines and feast on tasty treats at Boutique. Find gift ideas galore at Wildhurst. Take advantage of discounts on wine at Fults Family Vineyards and Langtry Estate. The list goes on with something special offered at each location.

Cache Creek is hosting its second annual holiday charity faire on Saturday, Dec. 5. Local charities Tango Mike, Lake Family Resource Center, and People Services are decorating Christmas trees and will be vying for your votes.

“In 2014, Operation Tango Mike took first place in the tree decorating contest and won $700 as first place winner. I can’t wait to see which one will be voted as the favorite this year. We will also have a silent auction table. The auction proceeds will be divided between the three charities,” said Ariana Lopez, event and marketing coordinator for Cache Creek.

The 2016 Wine Adventure will be held May 20 to 22, 2016. Two-day passport tickets for the 2016 Wine Adventure will be offered at a special two-for-one price with the purchase of 6 bottles of wine during the holiday open house weekend.

The two-day passport tickets priced $55 in advance and $65 at the door will not be offered at a lower price for the 2016 event. For a list of locations offering this special deal, visit www.lakecountywineries.org/adventure .
