Back for the fifth year – the Annual Hunt Country Dog Walk! We’re looking forward to seeing friends from last year and to meeting new and amazing dogs (and their people!) this year.
Registration for the event is $10/dog and entitles the dog (and their human!) to unlimited walking time on our beautiful trails through the vineyards and woods and a complimentary standard wine tasting or grape juice for those under 21. 100% of the registration fees go directly to the Shelter of Hope; as well as a portion of our sales for the day. Additionally, we will once again be selling a commemorative t-shirt and other vendors will be present selling their dog-related goodies.
