Tent at K1 Gondola Base for Killington Wine Festival

It is down to the short straws now... After volunteering my time to manage the Killington Wine Festival for the Killington Chamber of Commerce we are down to 2 days left to get everything done.

Under a beautiful sunny sky, the tent to support the event at the K1 Gondola Base Station was put up on Wednesday. Wine and food deliveries have also started with most of them teed up for Thursday. I can't tell you how many boxes are now occupying the Killington Chamber Office between programs, wine glasses and other swag.

The festival kicks off on Friday night at the Killington Grand Hotel for a tasting of estate and reserve wines. A special wine party, "The Crush", at the pool of the Killington Grand if the weather allows, also takes place Friday evening.

Saturday is the big day for the Grand Tasting at 4241'. This year we have 33 wine tasting tables set up between the tent at K1 and the restaurant at Killington peak. We also have a few other goodies as well which each guest to Saturday's festival can enjoy. (Champagne and chocolates anyone?)

Where ever you may be...don't forget your sunscreen.
