The Rabbit Ridge Artisans Holiday Marketplace is open for 32 days over 8 weeks beginning Oct 31 through Dec 22, 2024. We hope to see you at The Summit Winery!

Over 20 juried local artisans are exhibiting their creations!

You'll discover wooden oval shaker boxes, hand knit and sewn children's clothing, functional and decorative pottery, warm knitted leggings, hand-forged dangle earrings, original micro paintings, holiday note cards, colorful silk scarves, quilted pillows, handwoven cotton towels, wood glass and copper lanterns, leather journals, wildlife art on apparel mugs and coasters, wooden spoons, copper and glass kaleidoscopes, silk and wool felted scarves, ornaments, hand-forged knives, handwoven baskets, glass paperweights, handknit hats, and fingerless gloves, sterling silver bangle bracelets, birch candle holders, wood turned bowls, leather wrapped drinking glasses, fabric placemats and bowls, mini birch bark baskets, wood carved figurines, tapestry handbags, mixed metal pendants, framed prints of original art, and more.

We offer artisan-led classes where participants will be led step by step through the making process: jewelry making, wood carving, blacksmithing, basket weaving, knitting, felting, etc. All classes include a beverage the winery provides (wine or non-alcoholic options are available). You can see our list of class offerings and reserve a seat at http://www.RRA-DIY.com

As our way of saying "thank you" for shopping with us... for every $20 spent, 1 ticket will be put into a jar for a chance to win our door prize basket. The winner will be drawn each Sunday. The winner is expected to pick up their basket items at the winery during their normal business hours.
