Come celebrate our 10th year of Red Wine Chocolate!  We have tried to keep this event fresh every year and have featured everything from chocolate dipped wine glasses, pounding out copper hearts, decadent truffles, red cashmere scarves and even the “Most Romantic Man” contest.

This year we’re “Spicing It Up” with chocolate confections mixed with a dash of spice and chocolate chili mole paired with wine.

Lisa has transformed the cellar into an “exotic” tented venue fit for the Wine Gods.  Almost like traveling “The Silk Road and Spice Routes”. For a fun keepsake get your individual or group photo professionally taken in cellar with lots of wine theme props.

February is a month of celebration – Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day Weekend, and American Heart Month and National Wear Red Day. To show our support for the American Heart Association’s work to raise awareness about heart disease (#1 killer of women ) and its prevention we are participating in the Red Scarf for Heart Health Challenge ($5) and raffle tickets for fabulous Burberry Heart Purse $(5) available. Supporting OMC Foundation.

Enjoy the Sequim lavender fields in bloom and enhance your visit as you discover new hidden gems – six award winning artisan wineries on the scenic North Olympic Peninsula. Explore more hidden back roads and lush valleys as you discover some of the finest small family run wineries in Washington State. Since most produce less than 2,000 cases of wine a year, many of the wines are in very limited production and are challenging to find outside of the communities where they are made.  Indulge in the pleasure of sharing these rare wines of Washington State with your friends and family.
