PORT ANGELES —

The Olympic Peninsula Wineries’ Fall Harvest and Crush on the Olympic Peninsula Wine Trail is set for Nov. 9-11.

The wineries will put their creative grape and apple juices to the test at this year’s annual tour, with each winery displaying its own artistic interpretation of the “Wine Scarecrow” for visitors to enjoy.

Visitors can vote for their favorite scarecrow while tasting the best of the vintage.

The $30 ticket for the self-guided tour can be purchased online or at participating wineries during the three-day event.

Tickets entitle participants to complimentary wine tastings at each winery during the event weekend.

A tasting fee of $5 per winery will apply to non-ticketed visitors. Tickets stamped at all eight wineries are eligible to enter the gift basket drawing.

Attendees can bring their own glass or choose from a selection of Olympic Peninsula Winery Tour glasses that will be available.

While children are allowed in the tasting rooms, attendees must be 21 or older to purchase tickets and/or participate in wine tasting. All ticket sales are nonrefundable.

Nourish Restaurant in Sequim will host a limited-seating winemaker dinner Nov. 9. RSVP at: http://wine-ciderdinner.eventbrite.com/.

Nourish also will offer a Harvest Wine & Cider special Sunday brunch from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
