Wednesday Wine Festivals Enjoyed All Summer

Charlie Vukas of Pennsylvania attended the last Wine Festival this summer. As you can see, he was a good customer! Wines were available from local and California vineyards and from around the world. Tickets each Wednesday through September included a keepsake wine glass, a $100 discount on a future rental at Village Realty, live music, and a tour of the historic Whalehead Club. At various times throughout the summer local food vendors, face painters, and kite demonstrations were enjoyed amid the wine tastings. It was fun for all ages!
