Arbor Festival @ Westport Winery
Apr 13 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm

In celebration of creating Grays Harbor’s first arboretum, Westport Winery is hosting its inaugural Arbor Festival on Sunday, April 13, from noon to 4p.m. As part of this event, the Grays Harbor and Pacific County Master Gardeners will unveil a bench in the winery’s new Don Tapio Dwarf Conifer Collection in appreciation for Tapio’s considerable service to the community. This dedication will be held at 2 p.m. in the winery gardens. A reception will follow under the winery’s solar panels.

At 1 p.m. the winery will lead its weekly Backstage Winemaker’s Tour of their production facility. The price to join this tour is $5 per person. Wine club members may join this tour at no charge. Check in for this tour is 12:45 p.m. at the tasting bar.

At 3 p.m. winery co-owner, Kim Roberts will lead the first walking tour of the arboretum and a discussion of the winery’s design plans for the garden. All guests purchasing plants in the winery’s nursery will be given a free tree for Arbor Day. The winery’s arboretum was the brain child of retired WSU County Extension Agent Don Tapio.

For both the production and the arboretum tour good walking shoes and the ability to walk on rough surfaces over a moderate distance is required as these areas are working farms.

Jessica Marie Porter will be performing in the winery’s Farm to Fork Restaurant & Bakery from noon to 4 p.m. Full wine tasting will be offered at both of the winery’s bars (but not in the restaurant).

 

In May, the state celebrates the 100 year anniversary of the WSU Extension Program. Don Tapio’s advice to the Roberts family who created Westport Winery will be featured in a story about the impact of the extension program and agents.

 

Westport Winery and Vineyards By-the-Sea with its unique sculpture garden, lavender labyrinth, musical fence, 9-hole executive golf course, giant chess set, outdoor scrabble game, and grape maze, is located on the corner of Highway 105 and South Arbor Road halfway between Aberdeen and Westport. Their award-winning wines are exclusively available at this location. The tasting room, gift shop, produce market and bakery are open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The restaurant is open for lunch daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and for dinner on Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information contact Westport Winery at 360-648-2224 or visit the website at www.westportwinery.com.
