THINGS TO DO AT LAKE MARTIN
THE WEEK OF THE FOURTH OF JULY
Friday, June 29th : 5PM – 7PM
Wine Tasting at Catherine’s Market at Russell Crossroads
As you know, wine is something which is best when shared. Exploring new releases, varietals and winemakers is a great way to expand your personal knowledge of wine. At our Friday evening wine tastings, you can accomplish both and have a good time doing it. The tastings are usually well-stocked with tables full of friends, conversation, and laughter. The tasting is only $5, and you’ll receive 15% off of wine purchases from that night’s selections.
