SLIDESHOWS
Below are slideshows of our 2010 Vineyard Run & Grape Stomp. The photos are fantastic! We’d like to send out a big thanks to our photographer Jason Fukura of f/8.3 photography for his great work.
Fly-in to Airfield Estates new tasting room in Woodinville!!! Passport to Woodinville is an annual event held each Spring that provides a great opportunity to taste new releases, meet the winemakers, and enjoy a wide range of Washington wines. The video clip above is a quick glimpse at the recent 2010 Passport Weekend.
Due to popular demand, Airfield Estates Winery decided to host its 2nd Mardi Gras Winemaker’s Dinner. It was an evening of delicious foods and phenomenal wines.
On the MENU was.. • Deep-Fried Okra & BBQ Alligator paired with the ’08 Thunderbolt • Louisiana Sunburst Salad paired with the ’08 Unoaked Chardonnay • Shrimp Jambalaya paired with the ’08 Dolcetto • Dungeness Crab Pot paired with the ’08 Spitfire • King Cakes paired with the ’08 Late Harvest Riesling
Runners, walkers, & wine enthusiasts braved the frigid October weather and joined Airfield Estates for a 5K Fun Run through the beautiful estate vineyards. As a dog friendly winery, we also had a record number of family dogs that participated.
Before the race, there was a false start — Jax (the winery dog) was a little too eager to get the race started, and he took off before the starting gun sounded. Overall, the race went smoothly. Mike Miller (Airfield Estates Owner) took his usual shortcuts… along with Linda Corpron, who somehow got stuck walking the extra hyper winery dog Jax.
Marcus Miller, Airfield Estates winemaker, did an excellent job finishing fourth overall with a time of 27:24. In first place was Aisling Fernandez with 21:02, followed by Nick Fernandez with 21:03, and Madi Marquez with 27:13. Evan Roe took 1st place for the youth division with a time of 27:32, and Chris Wrede was the proud owner of the beautiful Alaskan Malamute that finished first out of the dogs. The Malamute won the race at the tail end. A barking beagle was in the lead for most of the race, but he got passed by the Malamute when he had to take a stop to go #2.
Despite the cold, brisk October afternoon, a large crowd showed up for Airfield Estates 3rd Annual Grape Stomp. With grape stomping, wine sipping, gourmet bites, and polka music, a fun time was had by all! Thank you to those who participated. We hope you had fun & look forward to seeing you at next year’s event!
