Long Story Short

06/05/2026

We are saddened by the news but Mother Nature wasn’t going to be very kind to us.
Catch you next time Tug Hill Estate! 💓

Good morning.

We have come to a very disappointing decision regarding our Spring Vendor Fair on Saturday, June 6. Due to the forecast for wind, rain, and potential thunderstorms tomorrow, coupled with the fact that this is an outdoor event, we have decided to cancel the Spring Vendor Fair here at the Estate. We are so very sorry for the inconvenience, but there are a great number of other indoor events happening in our area tomorrow that will definitely be worth a visit, as well.

We will still be open for regular business in the Vintner's Lounge from 11am to 8pm, and serving our Estate menu from 11-7. Have a great weekend, friends!
