Plenty to do at the lake this Labor Day Weekend!
Published: 08.31.2017
The forecast is shaping up nicely for a gorgeous holiday weekend on Lake Martin. Where else can you find the best of summer and football at the same time? There are lots of fun things going on at Russell Lands On Lake Martin—so much so you might have to juggle to fit them all in.
Wine Tasting
Friday, September 1, 5-7pm
Catherine’s Market
$5
As you know, wine is something which is best when shared. Exploring new releases, varietals and winemakers is a great way to expand your personal knowledge of wine. At our Friday evening wine tastings, you can accomplish both and have a heck of a good time doing it. The tastings are usually well-stocked with tables full of friends, conversation, and laughter. The tasting is only $5, and you’ll receive 15% off of wine purchases from that night’s selections. How cool is that?
