SUMMARY:Peter Michael Wine Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Reserve your spot for Fearrington’s Peter Michael Wine Dinner on Thu\, May 28\, 6:30pm-9pm. Fearrington is delighted to welcome Paul and Emily Michael\, 2nd-generation owners of Peter Michael Winery in Sonoma\, California. Chef Paul Gagne’s 5-course dinner menu will be paired with these eight memorable wines. \nThis $275 wine dinner is non-refundable and totals $355 with tax and service. If you want overnight accommodations\, please contact Fearrington House Inn at 919.542.2121. Please note: they cannot issue refunds for ticket purchases. If your plans have changed\, please feel free to send a lucky friend in your place – just email them with their name or have them bring your confirmation email. \nHosted by Fearrington House Restaurant. See more events at Fearrington Village. Fearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail. \nABOUT THE WINERY \nPeter Michael Winery is a prestigious family-owned estate established in 1982 by Sir Peter Michael\, a British engineer-turned-vintner who set out to craft California wines that could rival the great expressions of Burgundy and Bordeaux. After purchasing rugged mountain land in Sonoma County’s Knights Valley — much of it volcanic hillside above the fog line — he and his family planted vineyards across three distinct estate sites: Knights Valley\, Oakville in Napa\, and Seaview on the Sonoma Coast\, preserving the majority of the nearly 1\,200-acre property as wildlife habitat. \nABOUT THE OWNERS \nPaul Michael graduated from the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne in 1990 and spent his early career in the hotel and restaurant business\, living in London\, Zurich\, Lausanne\, Paris\, and Dubai\, before completing his MBA at Ashridge Management College in 1994 and joining the family business. Paul was also the executive producer of the preschool educational television series Tiny Planets\, in co-production with Sesame Workshop. Critically acclaimed for its educational and early computer-generated animation\, Tiny Planets earned two BAFTA awards (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) and was broadcast in over 100 territories. \nAfter growing up in Wiltshire\, in South West England\, Emily Michael moved to London\, where her work in the advertising industry and a diploma from Le Cordon Bleu laid the foundation for a successful career in event management\, producing numerous music festivals and charitable events\, including concerts on behalf of Diana\, Princess of Wales\, AIDS awareness\, and leukemia. In addition\, she serves on the advisory board of the Michael family’s hotels and is Chairperson of the Peter Michael Foundation\, which raises awareness of and support for prostate cancer patient care and the identification\, treatment\, and management of the disease.

SUMMARY:Twilight Tours at Carolina Tiger Rescue
DESCRIPTION:Carolina Tiger Rescue’s popular Twilight Tours run from March through October (Daylight Saving Time) on Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday evenings. Tours are for adults only (guests ages 18 years and older). Twilight tours are a more intimate experience to meet CTR’s animals. During these tours\, guests are the only visitors in the sanctuary. The work of the day is done\, and the guests have the sanctuary all to themselves. Enjoy a quiet evening with the cats\, and you might just be lucky enough to be serenaded by the lions!  After all\, they are still wild animals!  As with all their tours\, they cannot guarantee what the cats will do\, but it’s hard to have a bad evening with the animals. \nThe 2026 schedule will begin on Sun\, Mar 8\, and run through Sat\, Oct 31. The timeframe provided in this event listing is an estimate – please check your tickets for the exact time slot. Your Twilight Tour will last for about 1 ½ hours. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Trained volunteer tour guides will walk you through the animal sanctuary. You will learn about the various species living at Carolina Tiger Rescue and the challenges they face in the wild\, as well as the difficulties they encounter in captivity. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and take photos\, but please note that there will be no physical contact with the animals. \nAdvance tickets are required for attendees (no walk-ins available). Tours are offered from April to October on Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday evenings\, rain or shine. The cost is $32 per person\, and a maximum of 25 people may attend each tour. Tickets are available 8 weeks before your visit. \nSee more events at Carolina Tiger Rescue. \nBEFORE YOU VISIT \nThere are several things CTR would like you to know before booking your tour.
