Spend Saturday afternoon “Savoring Sauvignons” by sampling two Cougar-connected cabernet sauvignons and two sauvignon blancs during a tasting event at the Brelsford WSU Visitor Center before Washington State and California face off that night in Martin Stadium.

The visitor center will be closed Friday, Nov. 11 in observance of Veterans Day, but will reopen at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, in an effort to assist Cougar fans with any pre-game inquiries, needs or directions. Saturday hours will extend until 6 p.m. and the center will remain open until 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10.
Tickets for Saturday’s tasting cost $5, include four 1-oz. samples of the aforementioned wines and a commemorative Brelsford WSU Visitor Center wine glass while supplies last. Attendees must be 21 or older to participate in the tasting and present proper identification.
