M ark your calendars, this April 11th from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce sponsored Anacortes Spring Wine Festival will be held at the Port Warehouse in Old Town Anacortes. This festival featuring 22 regional wineries including Sleight of Hand, Andrew Will, Woodward Canyon and my favorite Dunham Cellars; I can taste the Double River Syrah now! For a complete list of wineries click here. This great line up of twenty two wineries and will be accompanied by six local restaurants serving up an array of great appetizers for those tasting the fruit of the vine. The participating restaurants are; Star Bar, Café Adrift (Check out the remodel – looking good!), Cameron’s, Deception Pass Café, Bellissima Trattoria, and Randys Pier 61.
After the event, many of the participating restaurants, plus the Majestic Inn & Spa will be offering winemaker dinners pairing some of these fine wines, with special menus. Check with your favorite chef to see what culinary delight they plan, and be sure to make reservations as this event will likely fill the town.
Tickets to the festival can be purchased at the Chamber office, Compass Wines, or any of the participating restaurants.
