Visit Anaconda on Saturday, November 9 for the best wine tasting event of the year! While here, get your holiday gift, recreation, and beverage shopping done in one day! This is a very special holiday wine tasting that has been very thoughtfully curated for our guests. It is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a fun outing, try before you buy, and save! Guests will receive a 10% discount on all wines that are purchased at the tasting.
And if you really want to maximize your time in Anaconda and get a kick start on your holiday preparations, start your day off at Pintler's Portal Hostel.
NEED GEAR? From 12pm - 4pm Pintler's Portal Hostel will be hosting their 4th annual All Season Gear Swap & Recreation Expo that features all of the recreational gear and clothing one could dream of at killer prices. No tickets are needed for the Gear Swap. Just show up anytime between noon and 4. Immediately after, The Bighorn is hosting our 2nd annual Holiday Wine Tasting & Shopping event!
NEED WINE? Then comes time for the Holiday Tasting! Last year's tasting event was a wild success and we sold out of tickets. This year we've decided to extend the tasting into two sessions to accommodate more people and allow everyone to have a little more elbow room. :) Join us from 4pm - 6:30pm, or from 6:30pm - 9pm. For $30 guests will receive a Bighorn tasting glass and they get to taste through 20 wines that we recommend you consider for your upcoming holiday feasts. We've broken those 20 wines into 4 categories. As you wander throughout The Bighorn and sip on fabulous wines, we will tell you which we recommend having on hand for these four pairings/purposes:
Starter / Intermezzo Wines. You'll need these on hand for when you are keeping things light and easy, welcoming guests, cooking, etc..
Turkey Wine. Pair these wines with your turkey dinner.
Prime rib. Pair these wines with your prime rib dinner.
Crowd Pleaser Wines. No matter what guests choose to eat or what they prefer, these wines win in a crowd again and again.
As you wander, take notes on your tasting card and pick out your favorites. Our full food and beverage menu will be available form behind the bar. We will have many of the wines on hand that guests can pack up and take home. If we run low on something you loved, you can pre-order them and we will have them available for pick up within the next 1.5 weeks.
Tickets will be sold for $30 if purchased in advance. $35 if purchased at the door. Once guests receive their wine tasting glass, they will be welcome to wander around and visit the various tasting tables set up throughout The Bighorn. Taste at your leisure and come and go as you please within your ticketed time frame.
NEED GIFTS? This year we are also adding a large, holiday gift section to the event as well. While tasting, wander to the back banquet tables and look through all of our recommended holiday gifts and stocking stuffers. The section will be packed full of gifts for every age group and personality! Think wine glasses, board games, toys, candles made out of wine bottles, Christmas ornaments, cozy winter hats and gloves, kitchen gadgets for adults and youth, water bottles, Bighorn swag, and so much more! You're also welcome to visit us earlier in the day to shop this section if you prefer. Our doors open at 11am on Saturday, November 9 and our gifts section will be set up and ready for visitors.
We can't wait for this exciting event and we look forward to seeing you there!
