Friday Night Campers: Meet in the parking lot behind and near the rear door, of Alchemy Market and Wine Bar in Murphy's (191 main street Murphy's) at 7:00 p.m anyone who wants to drive onto the property and camp on Friday night. This will give those individuals time to set up tents and designate the dinning and sleeping areas.

 

 

The Vineyard Location

 

Wine Camp Map

 

The vineyards / camping site, while very aesthetically pleasing, is a remote and rustic location on top of a small mountain with grass and oak trees. The views are great and the road up to the top is level; however the plan is to shuttle people up via gondola ride. This is the real deal, after all!

 

Just to set your expectations, there's nothing terribly fancy out there... no gold-plated showers or bronze power outlets. However, you will be able to enjoy the simplicity of cool and quiet places to eat, sit and chat, with stone and rough wood benches and tables, and, of course, myriad fire circles.

 

Meetup Procedure

 

To keep traffic to the vineyard low, we're planning on two meeting times for folks who are camping overnight at the vineyard. Those who are leaving for hotels should drive directly to the vineyard.

 

We're planning to meet at 7pm on Friday and 10am on Saturday at the parking lot behind Alchemy Market, and follow the leader into the vineyards.
