Two days, two different opportunities—and you’ll want to attend both. Saturday, May 5 is your opportunity to leisurely stroll the event, stopping at each of the wine stations to learn about, sample and/or purchase your own wine from the 120 varieties available. Beginning at noon until 5 p.m., make a few stops for a few sips, then intersperse the tasting with visits to the arts and crafts area, premium automobiles exhibit, Galati yachts show and a water tour of the bay. Savor wonderful hors d’oeuvres offered by top local restaurants, and relax to live music from three local bands. Sunday, May 6 brings a five-star brunch accompanied by flights of champagne. Between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., you’ll be treated to delicious food and samples of sparkling delight, with a backdrop of live music. Purchase your Waves of Wine tickets online—Saturday is , and Sunday is . They can be purchased individually or as a set. The weekend’s activities take place on the grounds of the upscale Caribe The Resort. The scenic location lends itself well to the event, and the view from the condos is stunning. Take a peek at the 2- and 3-bedroom Caribe properties available for your next vacation. Fair warning: Deciding which of these luxurious properties to reserve will be a difficult but fun mission.

If you listen, you can already hear the squeals of the children as they see their favorite characters come to life at Wales West Light Railway in Silverhill, Alabama. A number of Thomas-themed activities will be available, so plan to spend a few hours creating unique arts and crafts, choosing and attaching temporary tattoos, getting wrapped up in the tales of the storyteller, watching Thomas videos, singing songs and more. Don’t forget to save time for a 10-minute ride on Wales West’s narrow-gauge rail, too. Grab your calendars and check May 5, 6, 12 and 13. Then call 888-569-5337 or visit Day Out With Thomas™ Mystery On The Rails Tour 2012 to purchase your tickets right away, before they sell out.

Two days, two different opportunities—and you’ll want to attend both. Saturday, May 5 is your opportunity to leisurely stroll the event, stopping at each of the wine stations to learn about, sample and/or purchase your own wine from the 120 varieties available. Beginning at noon until 5 p.m., make a few stops for a few sips, then intersperse the tasting with visits to the arts and crafts area, premium automobiles exhibit, Galati yachts show and a water tour of the bay. Savor wonderful hors d’oeuvres offered by top local restaurants, and relax to live music from three local bands. Sunday, May 6 brings a five-star brunch accompanied by flights of champagne. Between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., you’ll be treated to delicious food and samples of sparkling delight, with a backdrop of live music. Purchase your Waves of Wine tickets online—Saturday is $45, and Sunday is $35. They can be purchased individually or as a set. The weekend’s activities take place on the grounds of the upscale Caribe The Resort. The scenic location lends itself well to the event, and the view from the condos is stunning. Take a peek at the 2- and 3-bedroom Caribe properties available for your next vacation. Fair warning: Deciding which of these luxurious properties to reserve will be a difficult but fun mission.
