The County’s oldest winery has undergone some massive transitions this summer. Already home to one of the most coveted scenic spots in the County, Waupoos Winery has created even more reasons to visit – new ownership, a new Chef and restaurant expansion, a chocolate shop, and a waterfront patio are just a few of the changes that Waupoos Estates Winery can be proud of.

Despite delays in re-opening caused by the renovation, Waupoos opened its new restaurant doors to the public this June and the response has been overwhelming. Often seating 200 for dinner on weekends, the expansion was well worth the wait, and the new owners want to celebrate! To thank their generous supporters and patient customers this coming weekend Waupoos Estates Winery will host the first annual Grapevine Telegraph – a festival of music, family fun, food and wine.

The event is a multi-day affair starting with a fish fry this Friday, August 26th from 4-8pm. Live music will accompany the feast, and tickets are $12.00 for kids, $8.00 for children.  Bring the whole family on Saturday, August 27th for an all-day music festival – performances by Eden Hertzog, Chris Assad, Mel Larkin, Ariana Gillis, Brian Macmillan and Nine Mile, alongside kids activities, wagon rides, classic cars, prizes, and a 9pm firework show will complete this fun-filled event. If you’re not too tired by Sunday, join the Waupoos family for a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning on the patio from 9am -12pm, served with bacon, sausages and fresh fruit.

This event marks the first of many events Waupoos Winery sees in their future.
