There are wineries that can put as much creativity and work into their event schedules as they do in making quality wines. One such place is Pearmund Cellars located just outside Washington, DC in Broad Run, Virginia.

On September 26, Pearmund Cellars will be holding its 1st Annual Pearmund Picnic Basket Competition. This first time event is limited to the first 15 people to email Robin at robin@pearmundcellars.com. Picnic baskets “will be judged on theme and how your food/menu, décor and Pearmund Cellars wine all tie together.” Be sure to include enough food for the judges to sample!

This Picnic Basket Competition is such a great idea! Unusual, fun, wine, and food all tied together. If you can’t compete in this weekend’s competition, watch for one next year.

Pearmund Cellars has been having the popular Girls Night Out event. I guess the guys don’t want the girls to have all the fun, so the winery has created Friday Nite Fellas! Scheduled dates are Fridays, October 1, November 5 and December 3. The tasting room will stay open until 8pm. If you want, bring a cigar to enjoy with a glass of wine.

Dates for the Gals Nite Out are Thursdays, October 14, November 18 and December 16.

Cheers to Pearmund Cellars for thinking outside of the box for wine fun!

Cheers!  Kathy
