Seaside Wine Walk Brings 'Cheers' to North Oregon Coast
Some of Oregon's top wineries are pairing up with local downtown businesses, giving tourists and wine geeks the opportunity to stroll lazily through the town’s historic businesses with a bit of live entertainment and enjoy "to die for" appetizers served by the many business participants.
Look for the balloons, and expect some fantastic hors d’oeuvres in some venues. Last spring’s Seaside Downtown Wine Walk saw another increase in wine tasters and wineries there to show off their nectar, as various spots along the way featured a myriad of live music, from jazz to light pop to barbershop sounds. The twice-yearly event takes place in May and November, and continues to grow as more vintners participate and awareness of the event increases, slowly gaining a region-wide reputation for being an event that is so much more than just a day at the beach. Hours of the event have expanded slightly as well this time around, starting an hour earlier. The event now runs from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
A commemorative Bronze Fall Logo wine glass $5 and ID bracelet will be required for wine tasting. Wine glass sales and ID check stations are: Salmonberry
Square, 810 Broadway 2 p.m.- 7 p.m.
For live music, Salmonberry Square hosts three members of the Muddy Bottom Boys. Dave Quinton, Kevin Healy and Don Broom have entertained Northwest audiences for years with their unique brand of bluegrass, country and western swing music, During the Wine Walk , they will entertain wine tasters with from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wine glass sales and ID check stations will be open from on the event day and will be located at Seaside Carousel Mall (300 Broadway - Noon to 6 p.m.), Salmonberry Square (810 Broadway - 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.) and Ernst & Ernst Collectors Galleries (15 Broadway - Noon to 6 p.m.). The event is put on by the Seaside Downtown Development Association. Sponsors this year are BeachConnection.net, Holiday Inn Express Seaside, and Bridgeport Condominiums. You must be 21 or older to participate. Oregon Liquor Control Commission rules prohibit consumption of wine outside of host businesses. Contact the SDDA at (503) 717-1914 for more information. www.seasidedowntown.com
