Wine enthusiasts are invited to sample small plates paired with local wines at 16 different participating wineries and tasting rooms this Labor Day Weekend.
From Sept. 2 to Sept. 4, member wineries and tasting rooms of the Southwest Washington Winery Association in Clark and Cowlitz counties will hold their annual Labor Day
weekend food and wine pairing event. Participating wineries and tasting rooms will create special offerings of wine and small plates to show the synergy of the right food pairing with their wines, a release from the winery association stated.
As part of the event, attendees can pick up a passport card at any of the participating
tasting rooms, with printable cards are also available online, according to the release. Each business will stamp customers’ attendance, and after getting three stamps, they can turn in their card and be eligible for a drawing of one of three gift certificates redeemable at any of the participating businesses.
Printable passport cards, specific open hours, and pairing offerings for each tasting room can be found at swwawine.com/labor daypassport.
