Toast to Construction

Toast to Construction. I’m Greg Martin with today’s Fruit Grower Report.

The Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center has been in the making for a long time. Some 7 years ago I first reported on this new idea for creating a site that would not only be a destination for wine lovers but also play an important part in the wine industry. Well now wine and ag leaders are getting together for a “Toast to Construction.” The Ag Networks Lacy Gray has more.

GRAY: The Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center’s “Toast to Construction” celebration will be Friday, May 24, beginning at 11 a.m. Construction is currently underway on the final phase of the Clore Center with hopes to be completed by the fall of this year. The new center will not only focus on the wine industry but also compliment that with the diversity of regional food products. The 15,000 square foot Clore Center will offer several indoor and outdoor venues including a tasting room, demonstration kitchen, agriculture and viticulture exhibits, classrooms, conference rooms, office space, retail shop, instructional vineyards, interpretive and production gardens.

The Vineyard Pavilion, a satellite building opened in June 2011 and has become a popular site to hold weddings, parties and reunions. The 2,400 square foot building features indoor and outdoor assembly areas, a catering kitchen, office space and rest rooms. If you would like more information on the event or the Clore Center in general, visit their website at theclorecenter.org.
