Get ready for an unforgettable evening of local flavor and camaraderie at the 2024 Placer Wine & Ale Trail’s Sips & Suds Summer BBQ, happening on September 20th at the picturesque Gold Hill Gardens in Newcastle. This isn’t just another event; it’s a celebration where the winemakers and brewers of Placer County come together to host a party that’s as much about the people as it is about the libations.
Imagine strolling through 38 acres of lush gardens, a glass of exquisite Placer wine or a pint of craft beer in hand, mingling with the very creators of these beverages. The evening promises a gourmet BBQ experience courtesy of Clay City Catering, featuring succulent BBQ chicken, ribs, brisket, and all the fixings. Vegetarian? No worries, just drop a note to the organizers, and they’ll have you covered.
The air will be filled with the sounds of The Crooked Mile Band and The Cover Up Band, setting the perfect backdrop for an evening of relaxation and fun. Engage in meet-the-winemaker and brewer sessions, where you can chat with the likes of Zane Dobson from Paza Estate Winery or Dr. Grover Lee from Wise Villa Winery, learning the stories behind each bottle and brew.
With over 50 rotating selections of Placer wines and craft beers, plus the addition of bubbles, your taste buds are in for a treat. And it’s not just about the drinks; there’ll be a local maker’s market, games, and even a chance to meet some majestic Clydesdales from Sky’s The Limit Ranch.
