Wining, dining, and whitewater


ABCers often get together for outings before, after, or on their break in the middle of ABC. Many fine local companies provide tour guide services and transportation to local wineries and outdoor recreation options. I have to give a special shout out to two of them, though, because they have staffers with direct ties to ABC.

If you’ve spent any time visiting with our custodian Charlie, you’ve probably already heard about his musical background or his in-laws’ special place in the history of Omar’s. But did you also know he’s a tour guide for Main Street Tours? They offer a wide variety of tour options, including several different winery tours and a new “Magic Brew-Bus Tour.” Tour prices include tasting fees and delicious local meals/snacks.

Awna’s friend Rachel often helps out for special events like ABC (you may remember her grilling chicken out on the loading dock ramp for last summer’s barbecue or serving up several meals the summer before), but her day job is office manager for Momentum River Expeditions. Momentum specializes in half-, full-, and multi-day rafting trips, also feeding their clients with local food and beverages.
