Star Wars Chess Day at Troon Vineyard
May 4 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
“Play chess, you will!” – Yoda
Come celebrate Star Wars Chess Day with us at Troon Vineyard on May 4th, 2025 from 4-6pm. We’ll be meeting at the back table, with room for more as seating becomes available.
Troon is a sponsor of our upcoming McMinnville Chess Tournament at Evergreen Museum on May 10th, 2025, and this is a great opportunity to visit and experience one of McMinnville’s excellent establishments along historic Downtown Third. We’re grateful to Troon for sponsoring!
ABOUT OUR VENUE
At the Troon Biodynamic Wine Bar, you’ll find a complete range of wines from Troon’s estate winery in the Applegate Valley, which is located in the beautiful Siskiyou Mountains of Southern Oregon. Sample, explore, and enjoy syrah, grenache, mourvèdre, roussanne, viognier and other wines as a counterpoint to the wonderful pinot noirs produced in the Willamette Valley.
Although Troon’s tasting room is a family-friendly venue, for this event we ask that young children not attend. Table space is limited, and RSVPs are not required. Please support our venue by making a purchase, and call them at (503) 852-3084 with any questions you may have about our venue.
Members are asked to enjoy responsibly and to keep food and open containers away from game boards and equipment, bring their own chess clocks and boards (BYOB!), and are expected to agree to our Community Code of Conduct for a fun, supportive space for everyone.

WHAT TO BRING
Please bring a chess board and clock (if you have them). The more boards there are, the more people can play! Chess clocks are welcome but not necessary! The “Chess Clock by Chess.com” app is good to use in a pinch.
Thanks so much, and we look forward to seeing you at our event!
