Peninsula wine, cider, cheese dished up this weekend

Have you had enough of our signature Northwest liquid sunshine?

The self-guided Olympic Peninsula Wine, Cider &Cheese Tour will warm up residents and visitors alike from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Participants in the tour will travel from Chimacum and Marrowstone Island to Port Townsend, Sequim and Port Angeles, sampling spring wine and cider releases paired with a variety of handcrafted local cheeses and cheese-inspired nibbles. Live music, art, beautiful scenery and hopefully sunshine will round out the celebration of spring.

Tour tickets are available online for $35 or $40 at the door of participating wineries.

Tour tickets include wine and cheese tasting at all nine wineries and cideries plus a commemorative wine glass.
