Hi //FirstName//,
Do you still need wine for Thanksgiving Day? We will be open curbside only on Wednesday from 1:00-4:00 PM for your last-minute purchases. Check out the Thanksgiving packages below for the perfect compliment to your Thanksgiving Dinner then place your order online or just stop by!
The Bent Oak Family wishes you and your family a safe and happy Thanksgiving. As we take this opportunity to reflect on the past year, while we are enjoying our Thanksgiving within our bubbles of course, we wanted to let you know how much we appreciate you being a part of the Bent Oak community. We are surviving during COVID thanks to your continued support!!
We will be closed on Thanksgiving Day but will open Black Friday, during normal tasting room hours (2:00-7:00 PM), and look forward to serving you. Don't forget to get your reservation! We will have great deals on wine and merchandise throughout the day and spin-to-wins, too. See Black Friday sales below so you can plan your "Shop Local" strategy around the Bent Oak Winery sales! Rest up on Thanksgiving Day and come join in the fun on Black Friday!

Get into the Holiday Spirit
Even though Black Friday is a day of shopping, maybe we can get into the true meaning of the holiday season with a couple of ways for giving. I am sure you have your own ways of giving but we thought you might enjoy our take on giving as well as enjoying wine.
1. Bring two canned goods to get your name in the drawing for a 2-bottle package of 2018 Texas favorite red and white wines. The drawing will continue through Sunday, December 6th, at 4:30 p.m. and the winner will be announced at 5 p.m. Your name will be added for every two canned goods you donate. All donations will go to the Cedar Park Blue Santa program on December 7th in conjunction with Gracie's Canned Goods.
2. Bring an upwrapped toy to get your name in the drawing for a 2-bottle package of 2018 Texas favorite red and white wines. The drawing will continue through Sunday, December 6th, at 4:30 p.m. and the winner will be announced at 5 p.m. Your name will be added for every toy that you donate. All donations will go to the Cedar Park Blue Santa program on December 7th.
