 We will have for viewing in our tasting room rose gardens a unique display of diverse sculptures made by local artists Peter Crompton and Roger Dixon.  Crompton spent time in Europe and his large scale structural foam sculptures reflect the influence of Greek & Roman art ruins while Dixon is known for his abstract contemporary PVC pipe sculpture.  
Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy a glass of Forchini wine outdoors while studying these inspiring works of art.  For more info about the artists and their work go to their websites Cromptondesign.com and pvcsculpture.com,
