Good morning Bermuda!

Well, March certainly hasn’t come in like a lion so far – spring is finally in the air!  Not only is it starting to get a little warmer but the clocks go forward next weekend, giving us an extra hour of daylight.

Wondering what to do with all that extra sunshine?  Well, lots of things are going on in Bermuda in the spring so let’s get down to it:

Let Discovery Wines prove that the grape game isn’t just a man’s world at the next in their Wine Focus Wednesday Series, Women in Wine, on Wednesday, March 2nd.

Wine Focus Wednesdays is an exclusive wine tasting series, where you will be guided through an in-depth tasting, featuring a specific region grape varietal or theme. You will be given the opportunity to taste five different wines that truly exemplify the different terroirs and grape varietals in an intimate group setting while snacking on one of their delectable cheese boards.

In preparation for Women’s Day on March 8th, DW will be featuring a wine selection that highlights female winemakers and notable women in the industry. Currently, the industry, especially the winemakers, is male-dominated, thus, DW would like to feature a flight of wines that highlight women who are doing an exemplary job.  This tasting will also be a diverse selection of higher-end wines from various regions featuring different grape varietals.

Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased online at www.DiscoveryWines.bm.  Class size is very limited so you are encouraged to book early.

Morning Troops!

Well, whether you love it or loathe it, we’re now in Love Month in Bermuda! Don’t worry though, there is much more than just mushy stuff going on – here’s is your usual Hump Day update from the Bermuda calendar:

The Chamber of Commerce has announced that the 24th Annual Harbour Nights is set to kick off on May 4th, running through until August 31st.

Front Street will once again host Bermuda’s largest and longest-running street festival, with offerings from local artisans, crafters, chefs, musicians and other entertainers, and of course, the Gombeys.

To keep up with the changing environment, the Chamber invites those who are interested in participating in Harbour Nights to attend a Vendor Information Session on Thursday, February 4th.

From 5.30pm until 6.30pm at the Chamber of Commerce, previous and new vendors alike will receive information on participating in this award-winning social event.

This year, the Chamber are looking to incorporate activities highlighting the quintessentially Bermudian experience. According to reports released from the Bermuda Tourism Authority, visitors want to participate in and experience the unique cultural aspects of the country they visit.

Since Bermuda has a wide and varied culture, and our experiences are unique to Bermuda, they wish to incorporate and share more of those experiences with the 3000+ visitors that participate in Harbour Nights every week.

Harbour Nights was recently acknowledged as a recipient of the Trip Advisor Award for 2015 and consistently scores high marks with visitors and locals alike. Businesses interested in participating or becoming a sponsor can call 295-4201.
