Wine and Wings Weekend Outing October 1-3, 2010

Fall is a wonderful time to bird the Olympic Peninsula. Join us for a tour of some great birding destinations and wineries. The trip includes van transportation, two nights’ accommodations with Continental breakfast, dinner (with wine) on Friday and Saturday nights, and all taxes and tips.

We’ll begin our trip Friday morning on the Eastside and travel to the Olympic Peninsula via the Kitsap Peninsula and Hood Canal. We’ll hit some birding “hot spots” along the way and then stop for wine tasting in the late afternoon. Dinner will be at the Alderwood Bistro in Sequim (http://www.alderwoodbistro.com/).

Our birding destinations on Saturday will include the Elwha River and Dam, Dungeness River and estuary, and Sequim Bay. In the late afternoon we’ll do some wine tasting – including a visit to the century-old barn at Olympic Winery (http://www.olympiccellars.com/) - followed by a wild salmon dinner at the Dockside Grill in Sequim.

After breakfast on Sunday, we’ll take a leisurely return route to the Eastside stopping for birding as time allows.
