Visit Wenatchee is excited for our upcoming "Mrs. Roper Romp" on Saturday, September 21, beginning at 4 pm.

Last year, our Mrs. Roper Night was a huge success, with enthusiastic attendees embracing the fun and nostalgic theme. This year, we're expanding the event to include other downtown tasting rooms, creating a vibrant and memorable evening for all.

Participants will don their best Mrs. Roper-inspired outfits and stroll through the participating venues, enjoying the eclectic atmosphere that Wenatchee has to offer.

For those of you who don’t know what this is… A Mrs. Roper Romp is a themed event where participants dress up as Mrs. Helen Roper, the iconic character from the 1970s TV show Three's Company. Known for her vibrant, flowing caftans, chunky jewelry, and curly red wig, Mrs. Roper's style is the inspiration for this quirky and nostalgic bar crawl.

Join us for a delightful evening at Off The Hill, where Stemilt Creek Winery and Archibald James Wine and Cider come together to showcase the best of local winemaking. Both wineries, nestled on Stemilt Hill, share a production space and a passion for crafting exceptional products.
