The ticket price is $34 and includes an autographed copy of Hook, Line and Sinker, a question-and-answer session, appetizers from the winery’s award-winning Sea Glass Grill, a glass of wine, and free admission to the International Mermaid Museum, where the event will be held at the resort.

Westport Winery Garden Resort’s 15-acre property is located halfway between Westport and Aberdeen at 1 South Arbor Road, Aberdeen WA. It is home to the award-winning Sea Glass Grill, the new Mermaid Lounge, Ocean’s Daughter Distillery, and the International Mermaid Museum all of which are open daily 11am to 6pm.
