Behind the Scenes Tour and Wine Tasting
Join us for an evening of bliss and gastronomic pleasure as we tour the wine making facility and enjoy wine tasting at City Scape Winery!
As part of the special events surrounding the exhibit Unexpected!, the Belton Area Museum Association (BAMA) has joined forces with local wine makers Josh and Deb Jones to provide wine tasting and a private tour of their facilities in Pelzer.
On Aug. 10, beginning at 6 PM, the winery will be open for a private paying-guests-only event. For $30 per person, patrons will enjoy a vineyard tour and behind-the-scenes production tour followed by a private wine tasting of 8 different wines. Every patron will also leave with a souvenir wine glass!
Reservations are required by Aug. 9 by calling 864-338-7400. The tour is limited to 30 guests.

In conjunction with the summer exhibit Unexpected!, the Belton Area Museum Association will host two summer camps for children ages 7 – 12 on July 27-29 and Aug. 3 – 5 from 10 AM – Noon each day.
The first week of camp will focus on careers in the law enforcement world. Campers will learn skills such as fingerprinting, using invisible ink, self defense techniques, flying drones, and other STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) skills while getting to meet real life members of the law enforcement fields.
The second week of camp will focus on using STEAM skills to create an invention from concept design to production. Real life inventers will also be in attendance to steer campers through the creative process.
Camps cost $45 for non -members and $40 for members. Scholarships are available.
Camps have limited capacity, so reserve your child’s space by July 16 by calling 864-338-7400 or pick up a registration form at the museum, the News Chronicle Office or Clinkscales Drugs in Belton, or McCall’s Produce in Honea Path and return it by the deadline.
