Postponed – Painted Barrel Trail 2020

The Painted Barrel Trail will be postponed until further notice. We will re-open the trail after the Government recalls the closure for wineries. Once the wineries are allowed to open for regular business, we will annouce the date of the final weekend to purchase tickets, and the date of the drawing of winners. Keep an eye out for when the trail will re-open so you can purchase raffle tickets for your chance to win a beautiful hand-painted barrel, and a case of wine!
