We've hit Alumni owned breweries for unique crafted brews for Huskies only, made by Huskies. We even launched a new liquor at an alumni owned distillery this year. Yet our grape loving and wine drinking friends in our Husky family have been saying, 'what about us?'
Today is your day. It's officially 'Wine O'Clock' for Huskies.
Calling all wine drinkers and winos, don't miss this exclusive wine experience at an alumni owned vineyard, featuring hand crafted wines by Doug Stearns CAHNR ’82, LAW ’95 and his wife Geri at their beautiful country vineyard, The Vineyard at Hillyland.
Enjoy a Saturday evening in late Spring outside under the stars listening to live music, sipping some classic and creative wines, and nibbling on some fine crafted culinary delights.
This exclusive evening is only for Huskies, their friends, and their families who wish to relax, unwind, and enjoy nothing but an assortment of sophisticated flavors including soft, tannic, crisp and delectable wines.
