Jul 13, 2011 - 8:19:17 AM
Lautenbach's Orchard Country Winery & Market will host its 7th Annual Summer Harvest Cherry Fest on Saturday, July 23rd from 10am - 5pm.
Enjoy complimentary tasting of Orchard Country wines, local micro brews and farm market foods - featuring the popular tart Montmorency cherry. The summer festival will also include free guided winery tours - every hour from 10am - 4pm, and face painting and balloons by Happyness Clowns from 11am - 4pm.
Hop aboard a horse-drawn wagon ride throughout the scenic orchards or pick a pail of tart Montmorency cherries. The fun continues with live music from 1pm - 5pm by The Johnsons Project, craft and food vendors, a food tent, children's inflatable bouncer, and more.
The cherry pie eating contest begins at 12:30pm; followed by one of the festivals many highlights - Orchard Country’s cherry pit spit competition. The competition begins at 2:00pm, is open to all ages and prizes and trophies are awarded.
"This is our 7th festival and every year is more fun than the last. It's a great way to spend a summer day with family and friends, while also learning about the health benefits of the Montmorency cherry," said Carrie Lautenbach-Viste, co-owner.
Lautenbach’s Orchard Country Winery & Market is one of the peninsula’s established family farms located at 9197 Highway 42 in Fish Creek. The winery and market is open 9am - 6pm daily; 9am - 5pm Sundays. For additional information call 866-946-3263 or visit www.orchardcountry.com.
