Feast of the Epiphany Wine Tasting @ French Country Wines
Saturday, noon to 6 p.m.

Throughout France, the first week of each new year is marked with a celebration recognized by Christians as the Feast of the Epiphany, held on January 6. To honor the holiday, FCW is offering guests the chance to enjoy the sweet-filled pastry called
la galette des rois – the kings’ cake – along with the shop's Saturday afternoon wine tasting. Unlike the kings’ cakes people think of for Mardi Gras from New Orleans, la galette des rois is a crown-shaped cake made of puff pastry and filled with a buttery, almond paste filling. Find the surprise inside the cake for good fortune and to win a special prize.
