VANCOUVER – The NW Natural New Homes Tour presented by DeWils features 18 of the hottest new homes on the market. Attendees have the first two weekends of June to visit a wide variety of home styles created by 12 different builders. Homes are priced from $289,000-$829,900. To participate in this free event attendees can visit www.TheNewHomesTour.com and print a map. For the best navigating experience attendees are encouraged to download the Parade Craze app which provides turn-by-turn directions to each stop on the tour (typical mapping programs do not provide accurate routing to new construction).

The homes, food and drinks can be experienced from 5-9 p.m.   Tickets ($40) are limited to the first 400 people (21 and older) and must be purchased in advance. Tickets can be purchased online at  www.TheNewHomesTour.com.

Brianne Johnson, marketing director for DeWils and presenting sponsor helped launch the event three years ago. “Chef, Hop & Vine is growing up,’’ Johnson said. “Attendees love the format and the event is definitely well suited to groups of friends touring together; visiting about their favorite food, drinks and home features. I’m pleased that we’ve been able to provide generous donations to our nonprofit partners each year. This year’s non-profit, ROCKSOLID Community Teen Center provides a wonderful safe-haven for north county kids.” The NW Natural Chef, Hop & Vine presented by DeWils is supported by Peak Mortgage, Parr Lumber, Summit Funding and Loanstar Home Lending.
