There’s more than fresh fruit and veggies on the menu at the Farmers’ Market in New Castle on Thursday, July 14. New Castle Liquors, 2016 Locals’ Choice Award winner, is hosting a beer and wine sampling garden from 5 to 7 p.m. Stop by to try local products from Colorado’s Western Slope.
“We’re so fortunate to live in an area that’s not only beautiful and full of opportunities to enjoy our mountain setting, but home to dozens of craft wineries and breweries. The farmers’ market is a perfect opportunity to introduce people to a few of the Colorado products we offer,” said Mandy Gauldin, who owns New Castle Liquors with her husband Scott. “Thanks to the Town of New Castle and to Noreen Nolan, founder of the market, for allowing us to host this!”
Tastings will be available from:
