Wine Tasting Groups
Happy Hour Wine Tasting: An opportunity to get to know each other while experiencing the pleasures of wine tasting. Certainly, learning about wines is one of the goals, but that is secondary to the primary experience of fun and fellowship.
- You'll find the essence of Kenmure Newcomers & Neighbors in this meet and greet activity for anyone interested in a casual get-together.
- This activity is all about being with neighbors in an informal, easy and fun atmosphere. You don't have to be a wine connoisseur or a gourmet cook to enjoy Happy Hour Wine Tasting.
The groups will take turns meeting at each other’s homes once a month from 5 - 7 pm. The recommended menu is easy and simple appetizers supplied by each participant and wine supplied by the host. You can take advantage of the local wine shops to guide you in your selections.
Join us when selecting your activities for the October thru January rotation. For more information, contact Suzy and Hugh Jones at 698-7522.
