Vines, Wines and Farms
Wine Tasting to be Held in Georgetown October 25
October 10th, 2008
Downtown Georgetown, Ohio will play host to a wine tasting event on Saturday, October 25 outside of the old courthouse. The “Vines, Wines, and Farms” event will feature wines from seven southern Ohio wineries, including internationally-recognized, award-winning wines and one of the oldest continually operating wineries in the United States. Main Street in Georgetown will be closed in front of the old courthouse for the wine tasting which will be under a tent and last from 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM. The event is a fundraiser for the Southern Ohio Farmland Preservation Association (SOFPA). “We are very lucky to have some fantastic local wineries in Southern Ohio,” says Jerry Schwallie, president of SOFPA. “This is a great opportunity for folks in the area to relax for the afternoon and sample some terrific wines.” For those traveling into Georgetown for the event—the trip will be worth it. In addition to being able to enjoy the scenic fall foliage, Brown County Tourism will be sponsoring the “Quilt Barns and Covered Bridges” driving tour. SOFPA is encouraging both wine-lovers and wine beginners alike to attend. “This is a great opportunity to taste several varieties of locally-produced wine and ask questions of the winemakers.” says Schwallie. “This will be a relaxed family event.” The seven wineries attending the “Vines, Wines and Farms” wine tasting are Harmony Hill of Bethel, Henke of Cincinnati, Kinkead Ridge of Ripley, Lakeside of Felicity, Meranda-Nixon Winery of Ripley, Renascent Vineyard of Georgetown, and Woodstone Creek of Cincinnati. Tickets (7 for $10) can be purchased the day of the event which will go on rain or shine. Live music will include Ely Beyer, bagpiper, from noon to 1:00 PM and nationally known bluegrass musician, Ben Pedigo, from 2:00-4:00 PM. The event also includes a silent auction featuring a low-numbered John Ruthven print of “The Barred Owl Family” and locally-grown light organic refreshments for sale. SOFPA is a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization that works with local farmers and landowners to discuss their options for conserving their land. One hundred percent of the ticket proceeds will go to the SOFPA. To reach Georgetown, OH , take State Route 32 and go south on State Route 68. |
