We heard you loud and clear, Sip into Spring'ers! You asked, begged + pleaded for the recipes for our Mediterranean Farro Salad and Spring Spritz and we are finally delivering on our pinky swear promise.
Our goal was to highlight the fresh flavours of spring while showcasing the fact that we create both sparkling wine AND fortified wines here at the farm. We wanted to pull those bright citrus + herbaceous flavours from the white vermouth and echo them with the ingredients in this yummy, filling fresh salad. We hope you'll try making it at home!
Spring Spritz
In a wine glass filled with ice, add 1.5 oz Front Road Spirits' Dry White Vermouth and 4 oz Clink Clink sparkling wine. Top with a splash of grapefruit or lemon sparkling water, stir and garnish with a twist.

Thank you to all who came by the shop for Toast the Coast Trail's Sip into Spring over the past three weekends. We had an absolute blast welcoming all your smiling faces into our space. Every year this event gets bigger + better and it's such a wonderful start to the busy season.
