Westport Winery will host the annual Crush Me, Squeeze Me, Make Me Wine At The Beach Festival on Sunday, October 7 from 11 a.m. to 4.p.m. At 3p.m. the winery will hold their Lucy and Ethyl Look-Alike Contest open to men, women, children, and dogs.
The winery will provide bins of grapes for you to stomp your way into purple-footed bliss. “Crush” T-shirts will be available to purchase for those who want to immortalize their experience with footprints on their shirt. All ages are welcome to attend this fun-filled event featuring live music from the Harbor’s own Electric Park Jazz Band along withcomplimentary Italian wedding soup. This event is free and all ages are welcome at the winery.
During this event the winery will launch its new plant nursery as they also open their Gardens of the World display. This young garden when it has matured is designed to transport viewers to their favorite places on earth. The tour is a loop around the winery and into the vineyards where you can “visit” a Hawaiian tropical garden, a French formal garden, an English cottage garden, a Pacific Northwest naturalist garden, an Italian gothic garden, a Japanese Zen garden, and an Atlantis underwatered garden. Creating and recreating memories from fun travels and destinations is something anyone can do in their own yard.
The winery’s other gardens have helped to make this one of the post popular destinations in Grays Harbor. The plant nursery is being added in response to guest’s requests to access to the same amazing plants the winery has used on their grounds. Elma artist and plant collector Frank Ratte has joined the winery team to assist guests with their questions.
The winery is open daily from 11a.m. to 6p.m., with lunch from 11a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, and dinner to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings. Reservations are not necessary to participate in this event just stop by Westport Winery located on the corner of Highway 105 and South Arbor Road.
