Classic Wines Auction, recognized as one of Wine Spectator Magazine’s top ten charity wine auctions in the U.S., is announcing a new summertime event, the Oregon Croquet Classic to be held at Stoller Family Estate on Saturday, July 21.

Grab a blanket or reserve a table! The Oregon Croquet Classic is a true tribute to summer in Oregon’s Wine Country and will include croquet and other lawn games, a barbecue lunch prepared by Stoller’s executive chef Becca Richards, live music from Peter Krebs Trio and Jen Bernard, wine tastings from local wineries and bites from favorite local purveyors. There will also be glasses of beer and wine and a specialty cocktail available for purchase.

Attire for the event is “resort casual” and women are advised to wear flat or wedge shoes due to Stoller’s rolling hills and expansive landscape. Expert croquet players will be on hand to compete in a demonstration match and then provide tips and lessons for guests that would like to play.

The event benefits the organization’s five nonprofit partners, Metropolitan Family Service, YWCA Clark County, Friends of the Children, New Avenues for Youth and Unity Center for Behavioral Health. Classic Wines Auction recently wrapped its signature event raising almost $3 million for its nonprofit partners.

Stoller Family Estate is located at 16161 NE McDougall Road in Dayton. The Oregon Croquet Classic will be held from noon to 4 p.m. General admission tickets are $75; VIP tables of eight are $1,000. Tickets can be purchased at www.oregoncroquetclassic.com. This event is 21 and over.
