Spinning at The Winery is held at the Retzlaff Winery in Livermore, California each year on the first Saturday in June.
If you are interested in checking about this event go to the Treadles To Threads Blog site and look for all of the events during the year.
Sometimes if the Winery has a Wedding or other events planned so the Spinning Event is moved to another day so please do check on that date for next year.
