Wine and Food on the River


Sleight of Hand has once again teamed up with Minam Store Outfitters and Andrae's Kitchen to provide a Wine and Food on the River experience for our loyal customers.  This exclusive trip takes place August 5-9, 2020 and will be filled with beautiful wines poured by Trey, great dinners from Andrae Bopp, friends, and a 72 mile float down the gorges of the Lower Salmon River.  This is not an ordinary rafting or camping trip.  Minam Store Outfitters provides all rafting and camping gear (which includes luxurious 6 man tents per couple, cots, extra thick sleeping pads, and roomy sleeping bags). 

After a day of absorbing great scenery and fun class II to IV whitewater, we will relax at camp, go for a hike, read a book, enjoy a nap, play some bocce ball, learn about the geology, flora, and fauna of the canyon, and just enjoy some good company.  Andrae will be preparing multi-course dinners while Trey pairs them with new release Sleight of Hand wines as well as some special reserves from our cellars. 

There will be a pre-trip meeting 6 pm August 4th at Andrae’s Kitchen.  A shuttle van will take people from Walla Walla the morning of the launch August 5th to the put in at Hammer Creek.  Transportation back to Walla Walla is provided.

Space is limited on these trips.  Follow this link to book your spot and feel free to call or email Grant Richie (head guide and owner of the Minam Store) directly at 541-437-1111 or grant.minam@gmail.com with questions.
