Tent for Wine Festival in place at the K1 Gondola Base

Work is just about completed to prepare for the Seventh Annual Killington Wine Festival which is to be held this coming weekend. Overall, at last count, 261 wines were scheduled to be poured at the industry and public tastings scheduled for Thursday and Saturday respectively at K1...and that does not include the wines selected for the Reserve Tasting on Friday Night at the Killington Grand Hotel.

On Wednesday, a large tent was erected in the base terminal area of the K1 Gondola. 90 or so wines will be served in the tent during the festival. In addition, the tent will also feature a cash bar, and live music with performers from the Killington Music Festival.

But the tent is not the half of it. Work was also completed on Wednesday at the restaurant on the top of Killington Peak. Multiple bottles of 171 different wines were loaded on the K1 Gondola in preparation to being poured during the event. With the weather forecast indicating a nice weekend, with any luck I will be able to find several nice new wines to add to the inn's wine list.

If you can't make it to Killington this weekend to sip some of the grape, then at least keep it in the fairway... and don't forget your sunscreen.
