All Dressed Up W/Somewhere to Go
Halloween Edition!!!
Friday 10/30
5-10ish PM
Now that the colder weather is arriving, we are excited to revive our “All Dressed Up” series. And first up is a costume party for Halloween, the ultimate excuse to get dressed up! What sort of theme you say?! We’re thinking “otherworldly beings.” Interpret that however you’d like - your costume just better not be something that exists in “reality” here on earth… Lets escape that for one night ok? $15 cover gets you in and gives you access to a spooky spread of hors d'oeuvres - passed and stationary. Dessert, other food, and cocktail specials can be ordered off of a menu a la carte. All food and drink will be inspired by the theme, can’t wait to go wild with that! It’s essentially our version of a fancy cocktail party- but with costumes… You can still order w**e/b**r/bottles cocktails and grab other snacks from the store. No need to RSVP, just show up!!!!

W**e Class w/Hugh
C***r - It’s Apple W**e!
Thursday 10/29
5:30-7:30
There are still a few spots left in this oh so seasonally appropriate class!
$45 per person includes sips and snacks, but not tax and gratuity. Call the Vine to sign up!

Blooming Pumpkin Workshop at Full Hearts Farm Store!
Led by Fogwood Gardens
Sunday 10/18 3-5 PM
Join us for a fall festive afternoon to create your own blooming pumpkin centerpiece at our country mouse sister - Full Hearts Farm Store! Enjoy the view of the fields, choose a pumpkin, have a warm drink, delicious bites, and let’s craft together.

We will begin by coring out our pumpkins, and then preparing our foam free mechanics for these designs. Our pumpkins will be filled with either fresh or dried flowers grown at Fogwood Gardens. For fresh flowers, we will use changing foliage, and heirloom mums with uniquely spooky structure and autumnal palettes. Weather permitting, field dahlias, calendula and more will also be available. For dried flowers, you will have access to a mix of foliage, filler, and focal flowers from the season. Dried flowers can be repurposed into another design after your pumpkin!

This class includes:
One locally sourced pumpkin or gourd for your centerpiece
20+ fresh or dried stems grown or foraged at Fogwood Gardens
Foam free mechanics for design
A hot toddy, glass of mulled w**e, or tea and some light snacks prepared by Full Hearts Farm!
When: Sunday, October 18 from 3-5 PM

Where: 1252 Royalsborough rd, Durham, Me 04222 // This workshop will be held on a covered porch overlooking the farm. The porch is unheated, so please wear a sweater or bring a jacket!

Free w**e tasting TONIGHT!!!
w/Dyane of Wicked W**es
5 w**es that are new to the state,
and new to us!
5-7PM
ALWAYS FREE!

Although it's part of the greater social contract that you do buy something from us from time to time... We want this to be a free community gathering space, and not necessarily connected to immediate sales, but it's been feeling lately like folks are just coming in, eating all of the food we put out, drinking w**e and leaving, week after week. I've hesitated to say something, because I do want our patrons to feel comfortable doing that, and participating even if they don't have the resources in the moment. But, the beauty of social contracts is that they are balanced, and lately it's been feeling imbalanced. Just some thoughts I've been having... I welcome thoughts and feedback from you all re. this also!

W**e Class W/Hugh!!!
W**es of Georgia (The Country!)
Thurs 9/24
5:30-7:30PM

Did you know that Georgia has one of the oldest w**emaking traditions in the world? Did you also know that a lot of the techniques that are used in "natural w**emaking" are also very old and have been used here for hundreds and hundreds of years? Hugh will have five w**es for you to try - all native Georgian varietals. There are just a few spots left in the class - CALL the store to sign up!
