OLYMPIC PENINSULA GOLF:
One of the Peninsula's best kept secrets
is the relative dryness of the region

OLYMPIC PENINSULA WINERIES:
WINERIES TOUR and TASTING One Day Tour.
When one thinks of wine in Washington, one¹s imagination rolls over the Cascades to the Yakima Valley and Columbia River. In the past twenty years this remarkable region has taken its place as one of the foremost fine wine producing areas in the world. So why the Olympic Peninsula? Quite simply because some very impressive wine makers would prefer to live in the lush beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and make their wines here from the grapes grown on the ³other side of the mountains². Join us as we taste the product of these moss-backed vintners.
There are six wineries that we visit on the Peninsula:
Camaraderie Cellars specializes in wines designed with food in mind. They create marvelous blends from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Semillion varieties fermented in French and American oak.
Black Diamond Winery makes exceptional wines from fruits and grapes. Their Rhubarb and Strawberry Rhubarb are made from fresh, locally grown produce, the Apricot from eastern Washington apricots and the Shiro Plum from their own orchard. Who says wine has to be made from grapes?
Olympic Cellars, located along highway 101 in a huge old barn, boasts a wonderful collection of finely blended reds and whites, some semi- sweet, plus the Peninsula¹s only Honey wines.
Lost Mountain Winery is a small, family operation nestled in the foothills above Sequim. The Italian family traditions are held true in the award winning collection of blends from Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir varieties. Known for their good, rich and robust wines, this winery will surly add stock to your cellar.
Fairwinds Winery, located near Port Townsend, sets a nice change of pace, offering more whites and a mellow Port to our list. A crisp, spicy Gewurztraminer and fruity Aligote, along with a refreshing sweet Blush, stand beside the Lemberger, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet/Merlot and Fireweed Mead offerings.
Sorensen Cellars is another small family winery that takes pride in finding the best grapes from small, premium, vineyards in Eastern Washington.
This full day tour will be both enlightening and enjoyable as we pass through some of the beautiful scenery between stops, and enjoy our box lunch (included) in historic Port Townsend.
This full day tour into the unique wineries of the Peninsula includes the tastings.
