We were thrilled to have Day Owl Rosé and Harken Wines as a sponsor for our most recent Craftcation Conference! Their wine offerings were delicious and the perfect addition to our presenter gift bags as well as our Iron Craft Competition and Happy Hour!

I’ve remained inspired by all of the crafting and creativity that surrounded me at Craftcation this year! Keeping with our theme of Make All the Things, I decided to let my creativity grow in the kitchen. I began by crafting cocktails with this delicious rosé from Day Owl and before I knew it, I had come up with this delicious cocktail perfect for patio drinking season.
