to the Sunday Open House from 11-4. “Not only will there be free
blackberry wine birthday cake (while it lasts) but fun for all,”
said MJ Hawe, events coordinator. Following the open house a free

who sign up.

Grapes
It’s that time of
year for everything that’s grape. On Saturday, Sept 4, Summerside
Winery in Vinita will host its first Grape Pie Fest as a part of the
annual harvest celebration. Visitors to the winery will have the
opportunity to purchase slices of grape pie made from locally grown
Mars grapes (a variety of Concord) and Reliance, another table
grape. Both varieties are grown at Bent Wheel Vineyard, owned by Mac
Hayes.. Summerside Winery also procures wine grapes from the same
Mayes County Vineyard.
At Grape Pie Fest enjoy local live
music, wine tasting, lunch in the Bistro and tours of the winery.
Summerside welcomes all grape crafters to set up a free table on the
patio to show and sell their wares. Sign up in the tasting room as a
friend of the winery and your name will be entered into a drawing
for a $25 gift card. Orders for table grapes will be taken for those
who want to bake their own grape pies or make grape jelly and jam.
The winery is open daily and is located on Historic Route 66 and
I-44 (exit 289) in Vinita. Contact the winery at 918-706-3606 or
