Can you believe that its time for the 4th Annual Vintner Challenge? Once again, it will be hosted by Willows Lodge. Rain or shine, you just can’t miss this event which benefits Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center here in Woodinville.

They can make great wine, but can they cook too?

It’s the event of the season. It’s fast and furious and the fun never stops as four Woodinville winemakers square off in a head-to-head cooking competition. Over the course of three weeks in June, our competitors will be put to the test to see who is the best cook and will ultimately be crowned our 2013 Iron Vintner.

Barking Frog Chef Bobby Moore serves as the emcee and unveils the secret protein at the start of event where our competitors have one hour to prepare an appetizer and an entrée for our panel of celebrity judges.

Tickets for Rounds 1 & 2 plus the Championship are $50 each.
