Mark your calendar: Our Holiday Marketplace is open for 35 days over 9-weeks beginning Sat., Oct. 31 through Sun., Dec. 27. You'll experience an artisan market full of unique handmade gifts, do-it-yourself-classes, and wine tasting during Rabbit Ridge Artisans at the Summit Winery.
Located at The Summit Winery, 719 Route 12, WEstmoreland, NH — just 7 minutes from Keene, NH!
Rabbit Ridge Artisans will be at the Summit Winery exhibiting fine local crafts. The function hall is transformed into a unique shopping experience. Visitors will have the opportunity to view a variety of gift items and meet some of the artisans themselves. Enjoy a glass of delicious wine while you leisurely shop for unique locally handmade items during the season of giving. We are offering a gift registry, and a thank you gift to patrons.
There are 18 juried local artisans exhibiting their creations. You'll discover wooden oval shaker boxes, functional and decorative pottery, warm knitted leggings, hand-forged dangle earrings, holiday note cards, quilted pillows, handwoven cotton towels, wood glass and copper lanterns, leather journals, hand-dyed clothing, wildlife art on apparel mugs and coasters, silk and wool felted scarves, ornaments, handwoven baskets, glass paperweights, handknit hats and fingerless gloves, sterling silver bangle bracelets, birch candle holders, leather wrapped drinking glasses, fabric placemats and bowls, wood carved figurines, tapestry handbags, mixed metal pendants, hand painted eggs, framed prints of original art, and more.
We are offering artisan-led classes where participants will be led step by step through the making process: jewelry making, wood carving, blacksmithing, basket weaving, watercolor painting, leather working, felting, etc. All classes include a beverage provided by the winery (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. One winner will be drawn each week. The winner is expected to pick up their basket items at the winery during their normal business hours.
