The ConnectWell Therapeutic Riding Program would like to invite you to our “Taste of the County” Food, Beer and Wine Tasting Gala, taking place on Monday, June 1 from 6-9pm at the beautiful Stonefields Estate in Beckwith. Come out with your friends to celebrate Spring and treat yourself to a delicious evening for a truly great cause.

Some of the exceptional local cuisine, local beer, cider and great wine we can expect this year will come from Black Tartan Kitchen, Saunders Farm Cider, The Waterfront Gastropub, The Grand Hotel, Blackfly Beverage Co, Final Score Sports Bar, and Braumeister Brewery. Along with great food and wine, this event features an incredible silent auction of fabulous items like wine, gift certificates, gift baskets, gardening items, equestrian accessories, curiosities, collectables and other great loot — all up for grabs.

The 2026 Taste of the County will once again be hosted at Stonefields’ elegant event barn with its beautiful outdoor terrace. Stonefields is an award-winning wedding venue located at 1985 9th Line, Beckwith. The historic estate features acres of rolling farmland and is a breathtaking setting for our Food and Wine Gala.

In addition to the $25 entry fee, gala goers will purchase coupons and each vendor will price their offerings so you have the opportunity to sample many different appetizers, main courses, desserts, cider, beer and wine.

The Therapeutic Riding Program is celebrating 41 years of providing therapeutic riding lessons to physically and developmentally disabled persons right here in Lanark County. All the money raised at this event goes right back into the program and helps us provide this great service to local folks in need. Our funding comes from grants, donations, and fundraising activities like this one, as we receive no ongoing government support. We really hope you will consider joining us and supporting our incredible riders.

This event has been a sold-out success for the past several years, so please get your tickets early and come share a toast with us at this wonderful event!

Tickets available on the Connectwell website trgala.connectwell.ca or contact Connectwell at 257–7121 x3200. You can also find ConnectWell Therapeutic Riding on Facebook.
