FATHER'S DAY
"Here Comes the Sun & Bruce's Blend"

What better way to commemorate our 10th Anniversary (and Father's Day) than celebrating the Summer Solstice as well?! We have a lot to celebrate, including the launch of our house Pinot Noir "Bruce's Blend", which we crafted with the outstanding R. Stuart Vineyards of Oregon. This blend was selected with our global foods and an elevated wine experience in mind. At the same time, we are rebranding as a Dining Destination & Wine Experience Inn.

We have a fun day planned to energize your summer with the longest day of sunshine and: barbecue and vegetarian food stations, an amazing band, bocce and corn hole competitions, open pool time, make your own Suncatcher supplies, learn how to make floral head wreaths and boutonnieres, and 3 drink tickets to use for "Bruce's Blend", beer, wine or summer cocktails. $89 per person plus sales tax and gratuity.
