PICNIC PAIRING 101 Saturday, September 17th 4:00 – 4:30
Royal Rabbit Vineyards
Bring your favorite foods anytime during tasting hours on the Picnic Pairing 101 days and winemaker and food pairing expert, Roy Albin, will help you find the right wine selection to complement your picnic. If a Royal Rabbit varietal does not create the perfect pair for your food selection, Roy will recommend a varietal, or a specific wine that does pair perfectly using his impressive breadth of wine training knowledge and experience. Learn more about the basics of wine and food pairing with a brief educational discussion at 4pm on the Picnic Pairing 101 Saturdays each month.

Take care of your body and your spirit with PiYo at Royal Rabbit Vineyards. Join certified group fitness instructor and personal trainer Susannah Gillespie in the vineyard for a wonderful event connecting with the outdoors and the inner self! We'll spend about an hour stretching and strengthening our bodies with PiYo: a blend of yoga and pilates, followed by a little wine tasting reward with Royal Rabbit's fine wine selection. You'll receive a complimentary glass, 10% off all purchases (or 15% if you buy 6 bottles or more) with your ticket!
Please bring water, a yoga mat or towel, and any snacks you might like to enjoy with your wine! We would be delighted if you planned a day around it and brought a picnic to enjoy outdoors over a game of bean bag toss (aka. cornhole) after your work out. We look forward to seeing you at the vineyard!
