Make every sip count this holiday season. Join us every Saturday in December at Fielding Hills Winery as we spotlight local charitable organizations doing meaningful work in our community. Each week, representatives from these organizations will be onsite — and even behind the bar — sharing their stories and pouring glasses of our wines. A portion of our daily sales will be donated back to the featured nonprofit, so every glass poured helps make a difference. Settle in by the fire pit, enjoy the warmth of the season, and raise a glass to generosity, gratitude, and community. Reservations can be made by calling (509) 888-9463 or visiting fieldinghills.com.
