Oktoberfest - September 26
Our annual Oktoberfest is coming soon! Here are the details:
Saturday, September 26
We're open from Noon - 8pm
Live Music from 1-4pm by the Elk River German Band
Cover charge is $10 per person includes a hot plate of German food prepared by Nancy's Country Kitchen from Grantsburg, WI. Food will be served all day, starting at noon.
The menu consists of pork tenderloin, sauerkraut with carraway and apple, hot German potato salad and dark Russian rye bread (made by Smoland Prairie, Grantsburg).
Nancy will also have delicious desserts available for an additional charge. We ordered lots of food this year, so you can even purchase seconds!
Wear your lederhosen and dirndl because we'll be having a costume contest!
There is plenty of free parking. We will be serving wines from Austria, Germany and a new wine from Idaho! Not a wine drinker? That's ok too as we'll have a beer tent with a couple beers on tap.
Come early for a seat or bring a lawn chair or blanket! Hope to see you here on the 26th!

LEARN ABOUT WINE!
September 15: The Process of Making Wine
Attendees will sip on some wine while they learn
about the growing of grapes, what "late harvest"
means, the characteristics of oak vs. stainless steel
fermented wines, how "pink" wines are made,
different wine regions and their regulations,
and what gives them those headaches they
might receive after drinking wine.
September 29: Wine Tasting Basics
Attendees will enjoy a lovely evening where
we will sample wines and discuss the
characteristics of different grape varietals, the
proper way to see, smell and taste wine,
glassware styles, and serving and storing
temperatures - we'll take the mystery out of wine
as we discuss the basics of food and wine pairing.
October 13: Throwing a Wine Tasting Party
Attendees will have fun while they try new wines
and learn the basics of reading a wine label
(what is “Reserve”, and does it mean it's better?),
getting the right supplies for the party, and picking
out the best cheeses and foods for a variety of
wines. We'll even spice it up a little bit and show
you how to throw a "blind tasting" party where
you and your friends are guaranteed to have a
night filled with laughter!
November 10 - Holiday Entertaining
Attendees will learn some tricks of the trade
when pairing wine with holiday meals.
Trade River Winery will provide some delicious
treats (and send you home with the recipes)
which are perfect for serving to a crowd.
Attendees will also receive a special discount on
wine and wine accessories which make the
perfect hostess or holiday gift. Gather your
girlfriends and make a night of it!
