Rich and Joelle Hildner, owner/operators of the Smith Berry Barn are celebrating their 10th year of operation and invite all to come help them celebrate. Live entertainment and hourly raffles will make this a great afternoon!
This is Mother's Day weekend so double-down by treating her special on Saturday too. Start off by helping her browse the farm gift store for a special gift. Once your gifting is done, she can try ours on the patio. Smith Berry Barn is providing live music and appetizers, Provincial Vineyards will provide her a complimentary wine flight tasting. Should the little ones not be enjoying the music and finding themselves underaged for the wine tasting, they can head over to the farm zoo, all within site of their relaxing Mom!

We are safe and free only because of you and veterns just like you. To say thanks in a small way, let me know when you arrive and the wine tasting flight will be on me. Serving appetizers as well!

May 26,27 Smith Berry Barn Memorial Day Weekend (Sat., Sun., 12:00 - 5:00 PM)
I just talked to the farm store owner/operators, Rich and Joelle, and they tell me their no-spray strawberries are in flower and that there is a chance some will be ready by Memorial Day weekend. If so, this is a wine stop you may want to put on your list as these babies are the ultimate fruit pairing for our Pinot Noir. Hmmmmm, perhaps I should get some chocolate too.
May 26,27,28 Provincial Vineyards Memorial Day Weekend "Wineyard" (Sat., Sun., Mon., 11:00 - 5:00 PM)
Our first ever, vineyard event!!! A family event, right in the middle of the vines. Here are some of the highlights:
- Food pairings to match our newly released 2011 Single Vineyard Pinot Gris and Rose. Our flagship Pinot Noir (2009) is also being poured. Tasting fee is $2.00.
- A territorial view from the top of the vineyard (700 ft elevation) that includes multiple vineyards, filbert orchards, forestry and Portland's signature Mount Hood in the background..
- Boxed lunches, picnic tables, bistro tables, chaise lounges, hammock and canopies to relax you and protect you from the sunshine (hah).
And if that does not do it for you, check this layer!
If you have not listened to these guys rock, now is the time. They are both just excellent!
One caveat, if it rains, that drive up to the top of the vineyard will be too muddy in which case we will be prepared to setup at our field office just below the vineyard. Please, please, be a dry weekend!
Vineyard address:
14373 NW Timmerman Rd. Forest Grove, 97116.
