JACKSONVILLE, Ore — The group of 11 wineries that make up the Jacksonville Wine District are coming together for the first annual Jacksonville Wine & Dine Festival. As if one needs a reason to enjoy amazing local wines paired with delicacies from local restaurants, all while rocking out to live music at the picturesque Bigham Knoll campus, proceeds from the event will go to benefit the causes of the Jacksonville Applegate Rotary projects. Those include the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Jackson County, the Jacksonville Community Center, and the Jacksonville Police Department. Rellik Winery’s Delando R. Pegan stopped by Sunrise to talk to Emily Storm about all the fun to be had in Jacksonville next weekend.
The price of admission includes seven wine tasting tickets, and unlimited food samples from 11 different restaurants. Live music will be provided by local favorites Danielle Kelly Soul Project, and Neon Velvet out of San Francisco. With wine, food, music, and over a dozen vendors to peruse, there won’t be a dull moment.
The Jacksonville Wine & Dine Festival happens next Saturday, September 21 from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. at the Bigham Knoll campus in Jacksonville.
