Dear Friends & Family of E & V,
We have some news... BIG news. Chris and I are in the process of purchasing a small, six room Inn in White Salmon, Washington, in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, five miles from Hood River, Oregon. The Inn sits across from the White Salmon River and is on the route to Trout Lake and Mt. Adams. We saw this place as an opportunity to move into the next chapter of our lives, take on a fun joint adventure, and expand on all that we have loved and learned in operating Earth & Vine. We are mountain folks and wanted to immerse ourselves in an outdoor-centered culture that also hosts a thriving wine and food scene. It seemed that owning and running an Inn might be a beautiful way to merge our love for community, wine, food, and home.
This decision did not come lightly, nor without bittersweet tears. This transition will mean that we will be leaving Earth & Vine and this community we love so much. You all have so generously offered us your enduring support and that confidence has allowed us to stretch, learn, expand, and thrive. It was due to this overwhelmingly positive experience working with all of you, that led us to believing that we could make this leap! For me, personally, serving this community has truly been the most gratifying, fulfilling, and enriching period of my life. And, frankly- it’s been a damn good time!

So, by now you may be wondering, “but what’s to happen to Earth & Vine?”...
Earth & Vine will now become part of the family of businesses of Pleasant Beach Village. The Village team recognizes the value Earth & Vine has brought to this community and plans to work hard to carry on this legacy. There is mutual agreement that the level of care, service, and experience that you have become accustomed to, will continue. And yes--there will still be music! 
We are so very grateful for everyone that has come through our door. You have given us so much more than we could ever give you in return. We would like to extend an invitation for you to visit our new home, the RubyJune Inn & the Icehouse Bar, where we hope to once again take care of you. 
We also would like to give a big shout-out to our amazing team for their patience, love, hard work, and support as we've moved through this process. They've stuck by our sides and we couldn't be more lucky to have them in our tribe!
In the meantime, we hope to see you all at the bar over this next month for a glass, a hug, and a hello, as we are scheduled to leave our island home towards the end of September. But for now... it’s time to plan a big PAARRTTY!
Stay tuned for details!
Cheers & Gratitude to you all!

Gretchen & Chris
