Wine Tasting
2025-08-02 17:00 - 19:00 | Salem Willows Yacht Club, 190 Fort Ave, Salem, MA, 01970, United States
Wine in the Willows
8/2/25

Once again “Wine in the Willows” returns to the club. Mark your calendars for August 2nd, 5-7PM.
Vicki and I, Geoff, will be hosting the wine tasting again this year. As we are serving alcohol we cannot charge for this event. However, we will have a “voluntary” donation jar out to help offset the cost of the veteran’s appreciation day being held by the club.
We will cap the event at 40 people and ask that you all bring your favorite glass as there is usually a shortage of wine glasses at the club. Being in the late afternoon, it seems fitting that this also be a potluck gathering. Feel free to bring something to share with your clubmates. Anyone willing to assist in clean-up will get credit for work hours.
