Annual Orcas Island Farm Tour: October 4th-6th

The Annual Orcas Island Farm Tour begins with the Orcas Food Heroes Celebration at Orcas Island Winery, Friday October 4th from 4:30-8 PM, where there will be a film viewing, food, music, island art, and Washington wine tastings by the fireside.

Click here to RSVP for a seat for the 6 PM film viewing (free), and you can opt to purchase dinner catered by The Kitchen, with local food plate options from 4:30-7 PM (I’m not yet sure what the cost of food is).
