Seasons of Surry - Summer Cool Down

Calling all wine lovers to spend a summer weekend in the beautiful Yadkin Valley, cooling off with a selection of slushies and sangrias.

Sponsored by the Surry Wineries group, the weekend includes stops at four wineries. Each ticket holder will be assigned to a starting winery where he or she will receive a souvenir glass and map. At each participating winery, tasters receive a specialty slushy or sangria paired with a light bite.
