15th Annual Holiday Wine Tasting & Festival of Trees - November 21, 2015

We are very excited about our upcoming 15th Annual Holiday Wine Tasting & Festival of Trees! This year, it will be held at the Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison, from 4:30-8:00 p.m on Saturday November 21, 2015. We have to thank 1st Bank for stepping up to be our title sponsor for this, and to Score Foothills and Quality Connections for becoming presenting sponsors yet again!

We are working on confirming wineries at the moment, but we're thrilled to share that we have several favorites returning, including:
Aspen Peak Cellars
Spero Winery
Creekside Cellars
Vino Passarelli

To make your tastebuds happy, Cabin Creek Smokehouse BBQ , Cutthroat Cafe , and The Abide Ride will be providing delicious fare while Seasonally Yours Taffy & Fudge Co and The Village Patisserie will be satisfying our sweet tooth!

This event remains as one of our primary annual fundraisers with a portion of the proceeds going to the Chamber's Conifer High School Scholarship Fund. Last year, we were able to award two $1,500 scholarships to our two Scholarship recipients, double of what we had given the year before. We hope to match that again this year and provide a financial boost to two of our area high school students moving on to higher education.

We will have a Silent Auction full of gift baskets, coupons and items from your favorite local businesses, fabulous getaways and trips, sports memorabilia, and more! We'll also be doing our Wine Pull again - a $10 ticket gives you the opportunity to choose a bottle of wine valued from $7.99 to over $80, buy as many tickets as you want bottles of wine!

Last, but not least, we can't have a Holiday Wine Tasting without our wildly popular Festival of Trees! This will be our 4th year of having area businesses and nonprofits decorating Christmas trees for you to vote upon, and bid on to take home! Beautifully decorated and delivered to your home the very next day! We already have 10 of our 12 trees sponsored, and we'll share more on that next time.

Please save the date and purchase your tickets now at the Conifer Chamber Office! The price goes up at the door and we often sell out ahead of time so don't wait!

We were very excited when we recently went for a site visit to Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison - this place is perfect for our event! We can't wait to see this fabulous space and plan how best to showcase all of this years wineries and food vendors.

Willow Ridge Manor is an award winning event facility located high in the foothills overlooking spectacular red rock formations and city lights. This venue allows us to grow our event to include more wineries, more food, more silent auction items, more designer decorated trees and more attendees all set in this stunning setting.
