This year the festival also includes a French style marketplace

an exciting precursor to the annual Westport Art Festival in August.
The Roberts family has selected the 7th Street Theatre in Hoquiam to
benefit from a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Fleur de Lis
Pinot Gris. Representatives from the theater will be at this event
offering details about their exciting plans for this historic structure.
As part of the French market experience, the cheese makers from
Golden Glen Creamery in Bow, Washington, will offer samples and sell
their wonderful products. This farm is known for its responsible
agricultural practices using milk that is non-homogenized and slow-batch
pasteurized for better health and flavor.
Throughout the weekend guests are invited to play the French version
of bocce ball on the winery's petanque court. Chef Erin Worth will offer
