Tioga
Downs invites community to ‘Vino at the Casino’
Special
event offers celebration of local flavors
Nichols,
N.Y. – October 28, 2015
– Tickets are on sale now for a chance to sample the best beer and wine the
region has to offer at the annual Tioga Downs “Vino at the Casino” event set
for Saturday, November 7. The entire community is invited to this showcase of
the best food and beverage offerings in town. Several breweries and wineries
from the Southern Tier will be pouring samples of their best brews and wines for
guests to try from 1 – 8 pm.
Local cuisine is being provided by three
vendors who were hand-selected to participate. Pacific Mountain Farms and
Engelbert Farms are together known for their fresh meat, produce and dairy
sourced right here in the Southern Tier. Meanwhile, Crystal City Olive Oils
features a wide variety of flavor-infused oils, pastas and more.
The event continues to capture the community
spirit even down to the entertainment. Local musician Virgil Cain will be the
featured musical guest throughout the event. Virgil is known for being a
one-man show who manages to create a full band sound. He performs on the
keyboard, guitar and violin with a little help from technology to pull it
together. Guests can enjoy a wide range of both original and cover songs in
various musical styles. Later that evening, Andrew King will take the stage, performing
after the tasting concludes, from 8 – 11 pm.
“We look forward to this event every
year, because it highlights the gems of our community and gives our guests a
chance to sample so much all under one roof,” said owner Jeff Gural.
A $10 admission fee comes with 15
tasting tickets, which can be used for any combination of beer and wine. A $15
admission comes with 20 tasting tickets. All guests attending the event must be
21 years of age or older. Tickets can be purchased from the Tioga Downs gift
shop or all Ticketmaster locations.

lottery terminals, video poker and electronic roulette. A variety of eateries
are also part of the current entertainment complex. Jeff Gural owns Tioga Downs
