First Annual Grill 116 Classic Car & BBQ event at 6 wineries!
Saturday, August 25th from 11am-4pm

Taste Route 116 announces another unique event enticing visitors to visit the Hwy 116 corridor in the Sebastopol area. The Grill 116 event is from 11am to 4pm on Saturday, August 25, 2012. Ticket holders will receive a souvenir logo glass, tasty grilled food bites, delicious wines and classic cars at each of the six participating wineries along Highway 116 near Sebastopol.

Martin Ray Winery will be featuring a rock'n'roll band, Moxie, from Fairfax which will be playing crusin' tunes. Tom Martini & friends will be featuring a wide selection of classic cars! Plus, a build yourself sausage bar with on-site barbeque provided by Smokehouse BBQ in Sebastopol!

"Our last event, Sweet 116, was a huge hit because it offered our guests something a little different than most wine related events. We wanted to keep that vision alive and decided on a food focused event along with a bit of a traveling car show," said Taste Route 116 president, Sue Bonzell.

Tickets are $40 Per Person, $35 for Wine Club Members and $10 for Designated Drivers (glass not included for DD's) and can be purchased at participating wineries - Balletto Winery, Dutton Estate Winery, Graton Ridge Cellars, Martin Ray Winery, Russian River Vineyards, and Taft Street Winery.
