Wine Glass Etching Class
May 11th

We are so excited to host Trina Warner with Chalk Couture this May 11th from 12 – 5pm where she will be offering wine glass etching classes.  Her class is quick, fun and you get to go home with your own personalized etched wine glass! She’ll also bring some coasters to etch if you decide you need some of those. Trina provides all the materials and makes it so simple that anyone can do it.

Come in for a wine tasting and etch your own glass while you wait.

We are taking reservations, but will welcome walk-in’s.  It is a quick process, about 15 -20 minutes per class. (The longest part is deciding which stencil design you want on your glass or coasters.)  The cost will be $14 per glass, or two glasses for $25. A set of 6 reusable coasters will $25. Trina will take payment onsite – cards and Venmo accepted.

To make reservations please call the office at (208) 459-3322 or email us at wine@willorch.com.

Members Only Flight
We are pulling out all the stops when it comes to spoiling our amazing members! We’ve curated a flight that features five of our most sought after wines. This flight includes our “members only” wine the oh-so-smooth 2020 Petite Sirah and a 2019 Petite Sirah, that we pulled straight out of the library so you can compare these deliciously rare wines. Plus we are going to give you a super secret, sneak peak of an unreleased wine that we haven’t produced since 2016. We aren’t going to tell you what it is, you will have to come and find out for yourself!

Featuring Nonna’s Cheesesteak Subs Food
Sometimes being an awesome Wine Club member can be hungry work. That’s why we will with have the tasty food truck Nonna’s Cheesesteak Subs on site for our Wine Club Appreciation Day. Williamson Vineyards will also provide one  APPRECI-EIGHT COUPON per membership. This coupon is good for $8 off your a food order with Nonna’s Cheese during our Wine Club Appreciation Day event.

To ensure that this is a special day for our wine club members we will have Wayne White set an easy going and relaxed mood with some of his original classical guitar work. 

 

This event is free and exclusive for wine club members.
To be eligible to attend you must have a current/active membership. Please be aware that, while we encourage our members to invite guests, non-members will be charged a nominal fee of $10 per person.

Member’s Only Promotion

2020 Harvest Moon

Harvest Moon Red has been one of our top wines since the very beginning and it just keeps getting better. We know many of our wine club members will reach for this wine when sharing wine with friends and family, so we wanted to share a little love with our members.

This crowd pleaser normally sells for $34.00, but we are offering this cult classic for $24.50! (That’s a 28% savings.)
No other discounts apply. This offer is valid exclusively to club members from May 19 – 26th

Members can purchase this wine at the tasting room or through our web store.


In case you need more reasons to snatch up a bottle,
here is the tasting notes and food pairings:

An enticing brick red blend with a medium body. Your nose will pick up hints of marionberry and cinnamon that transition into notes of nutty caramel and cigar smoke. This complex wine has a smoky start that flows into flavors of blackberry, plum and black pepper on the mid-palate. The wine lingers on the tongue with tannins reminiscent of black tea.

Serve this workhorse of a wine with spaghetti squash with red sauce or hearty Stroganoff. Experiment with grill poblanos or anything from the smoker. If you need something sweet try a dark berry buckle/cobble, German chocolate cake or simply Mexican hot chocolate.

2022 Grüner Veltliner

We wanted to offer our members something fresh and unique for Wine Club Appreciation Day, and you can’t get any newer or fresher than the 2022 Grüner Veltliner! This wine was built for sipping and nibbling on spring fare.

This white wine normally sells for $22.00, but we are offering this refreshing wine at $16.50! (That’s a 25% savings.)
No other discounts apply. This offer is valid exclusively to club members from May 19 – 26th

Members can purchase this wine at the tasting room or through our web store.


In case you need more reasons to snatch up a bottle,
here is the tasting notes and food pairings:

This wine is our newest addition to our portfolio and it is simply unrivaled! Grüner Veltliner, native to Austria, is a great alternative to your traditional dry, white wines. This exotic white wine delivers a clean, soft mouth feel and luscious flavors of tart apple, citrus and hints of clover. 

This is the food wine you didn’t know you needed, until now. It pairs with the unpairable! Try this wine with cruciferous veggies like kale, artichoke or asparagus. Better yet serve it at brunch with foods like sausage frittata or ricotta cheese quiche. Best lightly served chilled.

Reservations are not required but appreciated. We have limited seating and reservations help us ensure that our lovely wine club members get a spot to sit back and relax. Please email us at wineclub@willorch.com or call at 208.459.7333, for your reservation. There is no cost for current wine club members. Members are allowed to invite guests for a nominal fee. One “Appreci-eight” voucher per membership. This event will be held at Williamson Orchards & Vineyards Tasting Room ~ 14807 Sunnyslope Rd., Caldwell, ID 83607.

Pablo Picasso once said, “Art washes away the dust of everyday life.” If that’s true, then wine washes away the stresses of everyday life. Which is why wine and art go together so well! Join us for a new event series…
