South Whidbey Historical Society Fundraiser Bus Tour & Wine Tasting

Join us for the first South Whidbey Historical Society local history bus tour and wine tasting fundraiser.

We'll meet in Room 126 at the South Whidbey Community Center in Langley (the former Langley Middle School) and have a brief orientation of the tour.

Then we'll board a comfortable Whidbey-SeaTac Shuttle bus and begin our local tour of Sandy Point / Langley /Freeland / Mutiny Bay / Austin/ Maxwelton / Baileys Corner / Glendale and Clinton.

You'll enjoy and learn about local wines from Rita Comfort of Comforts on Whidbey Winery and have an opportunity to purchase your favorite wines at the end of the tour. Local snacks and appetizers will complement the wines.

South Whidbey Historical Society Board Members and Museum Docents Bob Waterman, Betty Discher, Joan Handy and Bill Haroldson will provide interesting facts about indigenous people and pioneer settlers. Learn about old Clinton, Freeland and Langley plus smaller locales.

You'll also receive a booklet of photos of how the towns and area looked more than 100 years ago.

Note that there will be a 20-minute walking tour of Langley where Bob Waterman will explain its development and colorful events and characters.

The tour will take place no matter rain or shine, so please bring comfortable walking shoes and an umbrella and rain-jacket.

Several restroom stops are available on the tour.

Varieties of Martinelli's Sparkling Cider will be provided for those participants not wanting to partake in the wine-tasting.

Refunds up until the Sunday prior to the event, then only in the form of a half-price discount towards a future ticket for a late Spring or Summer bus historical tour.

Tickets are limited to 20 participants. Must be 21 or older.
