ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WILL GO DOOR TO DOOR TO GET CANDY. BUT FOR THOSE OVER 21, THE HALLOWEEN TRAIL IS RETURNING FOR GUESTS TO EXPLORE LOCAL WINERIES BY GOING ON A SELF-GUIDED WINE TOUR IN ELK GROVE. TAMARA BERG IS TALKING TO THE ORGANIZER WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. YES, ACTUALLY, WE’VE GOT CASEY FABRY HERE, WHO’S THE DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND EVENTS WITH EXPLORE ELK GROVE, AND NADIA MINCY, WHO IS THE OWNER OF EVER AFTER WINE. I LOVE THAT NAME FOR ESPECIALLY A PLACE TO COME DOWN AND HAVE A NICE SIP OF WINE AND YOU’VE GOT VARIETIES OF WINE THERE, RIGHT? YES WE DO, WE DO. SO WE OFFER WINES BY THE TASTING GLASS AND BOTTLE, AND WE SHOP FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. SO ALL OF OUR WINES ARE LOW INTERVENTION WINES, MEANING THEY’RE MADE WITH ORGANICALLY GROWN GRAPES, NATIVE YEAST FERMENTATION. SO UNDER THAT NATURAL WINE CATEGORY. BUT REALLY WE HAVE WINES FROM SLOVENIA HERE, GERMANY, SOUTH AFRICA, AND THEN OF COURSE, OUR NEIGHBORS HERE IN ELK GROVE, SURROUNDING AREA. SPEAKING OF ELK GROVE, LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT GUESTS ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE ON THIS WINE TRAIL. HOW LONG IS THE EVENT GOING, CASEY? AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS FOR ELK GROVE. YEAH. SO IT STARTS TODAY AND GOES THROUGH SUNDAY. SO A REALLY GREAT WAY TO SPEND HALLOWEEN WEEKEND. DEFINITELY. WE HAVE SIX PARTICIPATING WINERIES IN THE TRAIL EVER AFTER BEING ONE OF THEM. SO WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO VISIT THE WINERIES THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE BOTTLE DISCOUNTS, SPECIAL CANDY FLIGHTS, FOOD PAIRINGS, SO WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO COME OUT. OKAY, AND HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE? DO YOU NEED A TICKET FOR THIS EVENT? IS IT LIKE A PASSPORT WEEKEND FOR WINERIES OR HOW DOES IT WORK? YEAH, SO YOU CAN REGISTER FOR FREE ON EXPLORE ELK GROVE.COM. AND BASICALLY WHAT THAT DOES IS UNLOCKS THE BOTTLE DISCOUNTS ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 50% OFF. WOW. AND THEN PLACES LIKE EVER AFTER DOING CANDY PAIRINGS WITH THEIR WINES. SO KIND OF A FUN WAY TO VISIT THE WINERY. SO LIKE, WHAT KIND OF CANDIES IS IT, LIKE A TWIZZLERS OR A SNICKERS BAR? I ACTUALLY I PUT TOGETHER A FLIGHT. WHAT IS MOSCATO WITH? SKITTLES? AND WE HAVE A RIESLING WITH SOUR PATCH KIDS. OKAY. AND THEN WE HAVE A LIGHTER RED WINE AND GAMAY WITH M&MS, MILK CHOCOLATE, M&MS. AND THEN WE HAVE DARK CHOCOLATE WITH A ZINFANDEL AQI CHRISTOPHER SALAS, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR WINERIES. OKAY. AND SO FOLKS WILL LIKE THE ROLL IN AND THEY’LL GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS, RIGHT? YEAH, WE’LL GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS WILL BE PAIRED WITH THE DIFFERENT CANDIES AS WE RUN OUT. OR AS I GET INSPIRED, I THINK WE’LL SHAKE UP THE CANDIES DURING THE WEEKEND, BUT WE HAVE THAT. WE HAVE CERTAIN BOTTLES THAT ARE MARKED AS OUR BOTTLES. OKAY. AND THEY’LL BE DISCOUNTS ON THAT. AND IF THEY CHOOSE TO BUY ONE OF THE BOTTLES, THEN YOU GET TO PULL FROM A HAUNTED CORK, PULL. OKAY, SO WE’LL HAVE DIFFERENT PRIZES ON THE END OF THE CORK, WHETHER THEY BE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF OUR APPETIZERS, MERCHANDISE OR GIFT CARDS ALSO. OKAY, WELL, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE, YOU’RE SITTING AT HOME AND YOU’RE THINKING CANDY MIGHT NOT BE YOUR THING, OR YOU’RE SAYING CANDY AND WINE IS YOUR THING, LIKE SHE JUST DESCRIBED, THIS IS THE EVENT FOR YOU. OF COURSE. OUR SECOND ANNUAL HALLOWEEN WINE TRAIL STARTS TODAY AND ENDS IN NOVEMBER. SECOND, YOU CAN SEE THE INFORMATION THERE. SIX WINERIES PARTICIPATING, FREE REGISTRATION. WHO DOESN’T LOVE FREE? MY LAST QUESTION FOR YOU, CASEY, IS IS THIS A FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT? CAN KIDS COME OR IS IT DEPEND ON THE WINERY? IT DEPENDS ON THE WINERY.
