The Grapehound Wine Tour will be held at Silver Springs Winery (4408 State Route 414, Burdett) this year on July 30th and 31st. There will be a wide variety of vendors from all over the country selling everything from hand etched glassware and jewelry to all things dog related (beds, collars, clothing, bling...). There will be entertainment on Friday evening from 6 - 9. There will be an awesome caterer (Smok'n Bones BBQ) on site all weekend too. The event culminates with a hike to Taughannock Falls at 12:30 on Sunday, August 1st. It's an amazing sight to see hundreds of Greyhounds all in one place. All proceeds go to benefit regional Greyhound adoption groups. It's a greyt time for a greyt cause. There's no charge to come and browse the vendors. I'll be volunteering there on both Friday and Saturday, and I'll participate in the Sunday hike as well. I'll have a name tag on. I hope to see some of you there!
A ticket for the entire event is $30 ($25 in advance) and includes:
the welcome event at Hazlitts 1852 Vineyards on Thursday evening
wine tasting at seven wineries (including Hazlitts and Silver Springs)
a commemorative 5th anniversary Grapehounds wine glass
a Grapehound Wine Tour-New York car magnet
and a packet with some assorted maps, guides and other goodies.

Hahahahaha...the legged kind, not the wheeled kind. You'd be surprised at how many people have thought otherwise though.

Yup! I'll be there pretty much the entire time, from the meet & greet at Hazlitt's to the Sunday walk to the falls. If anyone is interested in the photo op, the walk to Taughannock Falls should be a really cool sight. There will literally be hundreds of Greyhounds there.

The meet & greet at Hazlitt's last night was a blast! Hazlitt's once again proved themselves to be a class act. I truly can't say enough about the owners and the staff there. The weather was beautiful, as it's going to be all weekend. The reception was held outside on their lovely grounds. Finger food was served under a tent adjacent to their outdoor wine bar. They put out a fabulous spread for us. Turn out for the meet & greet was wonderful. I got to see a lot of familiar folks and met a few new people too. I'm heading over to Silver Springs for today's festivities shortly. I hope y'all can stop by today or tomorrow!
