PORT ANGELES — The second annual self-guided Tour of Wineries and Poker Run will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. across the North Olympic Peninsula on Saturday and Sunday.

The event will coincide with Port Angeles’ Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival at City Pier in Port Angeles.

Visitors can compete for wine and a poker-theme gift basket by completing the best five-card hand.

At each winery — and at 7 Cedars Casino, 270756 U.S. Highway 101, and the Crab Fest Wine Garden — a card can be drawn and the Poker Run card stamped.

A minimum of five cards is required for validation. Wineries will offer a wild card to help players complete their hands.

The run can be begun at any of the wineries or 7 Cedars Casino or the wine garden.

The Poker Run is free of charge. Wine tasting fees will apply.

The wineries are:

• Olympic Cellars, 255410 U.S. Highway 101, between Port Angeles and Sequim.

• Black Diamond Winery, 2976 Black Diamond Road, Port Angeles.

• Camaraderie Cellars, 334 Benson Road, Port Angeles.

• Harbinger Winery, 2358 U.S. Highway 101, Port Angeles.

• West FairWinds Winery, 1984 Hastings Ave. West, Port Townsend.

• Sorensen Cellars, 274 S. Otto St., Port Townsend.
