5th Annual Gingerbread Wars

  • Hawk Ridge Winery (map)

On Friday, December 6th...IT'S BACKKKKK!!!!

The battle has returned! Compete to create a Ginger Bread house worthy of remembrance. Tickets are $45.00 for a team of 2 and include a free drink for each player and a gingerbread house kit. Please arrive at 5:30 pm for a 6:00 pm start.

Each team will have 90 minutes to build. After the time is up, Hawk Ridge Staff will vote on their favorites based on creativity, design, originality, and use of materials. Feel free to build based on a theme! For example, we've seen items with sports themes, movie themes, popular culture themes, etc. Having a plan before coming in is a good idea *hint hint*

This year, we are throwing in some new rules!

1. Each team will receive a "Ginger Bomb." Ginger bombs are submitted anonymously and the targeted team will be docked 1 point from their final score.

2. Hawk Ridge will supply a mystery item that must be included in each design

You may bring in additional decorating items but everything on the final project MUST be edible! You will be given a pizza box as a base to build upon.

Prizes will be:

1st: Bottle of Western CT White and Western CT Red

2nd: Wine Tasting for 2

3rd: $20 Gift Card

Most Ginger-bombed team: Glass of wine per teammate

All sales are final! If you'd like to sit next to another team, please email hrwjeff@gmail.com to let him know!

This event will be in the tasting room.
