On Friday, Oregon Roots Meet Raleigh Routes

If your week has felt like a marathon (🙋‍♀️), here’s your finish line—and it’s paved with Pinot.

On Friday, May 22, 2026, trade the afternoon traffic for a glass of Willamette Valley’s finest. Our friend Doug at Seaboard Wine is hosting Will Hamilton, the winemaker behind the acclaimed Violin Wines. It’s a rare chance to chat with the person who actually gets their boots dirty in the Oregon soil while you sample some of the most elegant cool-climate pours in the country.

Expect a curated selection that proves why the Northwest gives Burgundy a run for its money. Whether you’re a total oenophile or just someone who knows they like “the red one,” the vibe at HighPark Village is always approachable and deeply Raleigh.

📍 Seaboard Wine – 1914 Bernard St., Raleigh, NC 27608
📅 Friday, May 22, 2026 | 5–7 p.m.
💰 Complimentary

Swing by to say hi to Will, grab a bottle for your weekend cookout, and tell Doug we sent you. Just try not to finish the bottle before you get the grill lit.
