Inn Love... With The Future  - The 34th Annual Barrel Tasting Weekend. 

****** Barrel Tasting is now TWO WEEKENDS ******
* Friday March 2 Through Sunday March 4, 2012 *
* Friday March 9 Through Sunday March 11, 2012 *
* 100+ Wineries participating *

For you true wine lovers, this is your chance to samples wines right out of the barrel, visit with winemakers and peruse the cellars of your favorite wineries.  Love what you’re tasting… then buy some “futures”.  Futures are a way to buy the wines you like now, usually at a discount, then come back 12-18 months later when it’s bottled and ready to take it home.  Most of the wineries have such fun release parties when the wine is ready to be picked-up, you won’t want to miss out!

If you arrive on one of the Friday nights, we are doing a free wine tasting and a Hearty Soup and Salad supper, here at the inn. Wine tasting starts at 6 pm. Supper is then at 7 pm.
 
You can just purchase a commemorative Wine Road glasses for only $30 per person per weekend in advance by going to www.wineroad.com or $40 per person at the first winery you visit. Designated Drivers are FREE for each weekend but must have a Designated Driver ticket. This year we will have over 100 wineries for you to choose from.  MORE INFORMATION AT www.wineroad.com
