Uncork Summer Food Wine Music Festival


Door County North, the business association for far northern Door County — including Liberty Grove Township, Gills Rock and Rowleys Bay — has announced that the fourth annual Uncork Summer Food, Wine & Music Festival is scheduled for Saturday, June 24, 2017, 10 am–4 pm and will once again be situated on the outdoor grounds of Wickman House, the renowned Ellison Bay restaurant.

Uncork Summer debuted in 2014 as a means to showcase the county's top chefs in a single setting and to signify the start of the Door County summer tourism season. The event immediately reached a broad audience of foodies and has grown each subsequent year.

Uncork Summer will be held the same weekend as Ellison Bay's decades-old family-oriented festival, Olde Ellison Bay Days. Located outdoors on the beautiful grounds of the Wickman House restaurant (www.wickmanhouse.com) on Mink River Road, the event will feature 20 food vendor booths, plus wines, local ciders, craft beers and unique hand-crafted cocktails. Well-known local acoustic musicians will perform live throughout the day.

This year's Uncork Summer will also feature celebrity appearances and speaking engagements.

Door County North’s Community Coordinator, Mickie Rasch, said Uncork Summer has had a major impact on visitor awareness of the Ellison Bay-Gills Rock region. "There are so many things to do here, so many great restaurants and markets and retail shops, and Uncork Summer serves to introduce thousands of new visitors to the pleasures of our end of the county. It's a little like the Door County of many decades ago, with its relative quiet and significant natural beauty, but now we have Internet service," said Rasch. "Our businesses see the Uncork festival as the key opening event for the coming summer tourism season, throughout the entire county.”

Expansive free parking for Uncork Summer will be located at the Liberty Grove Historical Society property at the top of the Ellison Bay hill. Free shuttles ferry visitors from the parking areas and make stops at both Olde Ellison Bay Days’ shoreline site and Uncork Summer, on the Wickman House grounds.

There is a minimal $5 admission fee, per person, to attend Uncork Summer. Inexpensive tickets for food, wine, beer and cocktails are all available on-site for just $5 each, the price for individual small plate dishes and drinks, whether wines, ciders, beer or cocktails.
