The event will feature wine, food, and entertainment set amid the winery’s gardens that bloom each year with tens of thousands of tulips imported from Holland.
Admission to the Festival of Tulips includes a Tulip Hill wine glass for unlimited tastings, sumptuous hors d’oeuvres catered by Lindy’s Quality Catering of Lucerne, live blues music provided by Bill Noteman and the Rockets, winery tours, barrel tasting, and more.
During the event, tours of the winery include the crush pad, the cellar, and the bottling room. Special deals on wine and wine-related products will be offered during the festival.
Tulip Hill Winery opened in 2004 on the site where the Bartlett Springs Water Bottling Plant once operated. The first owners of Bartlett Springs began bottling mineral water as early as the 1870s, claiming the water cured many ailments.
Revered in Europe as well as the United States, the famous plant drew thousands of tourists to Lake County in the 1800s, and after changing hands over the years, closed down in the late 20th century. It wasn’t until the Brown family arrived that the historic site would once again have a purpose – this time for the production of wine.
In addition to its winery and tasting room in Nice, Tulip Hill Winery operates a second tasting room in Rancho Mirage, near Palm Springs in Southern California.
Tickets to the Festival of Tulips are $35 per person in advance and may be purchased online; or $40 at the door. Tulip Hill Winery is located at 4900 Bartlett Springs Road, Nice.
