Saturday July 8, 2023 / 11:00-4:00 / 40 Wineries

Wineries will pour 2 wines per ticket holder, "summer wines", think White, Rosé and Sparkling (obviously every winery will pour what works for them).  

Tickets go on sale this Friday - we will update you with sales each week. We will send out a social media tool kit NEXT week and the participating winery list and program will be online by this Friday.

We will promote via our consumer newsletter June 1st, (50,000 subscribers) via social and with some streaming audio ads via the Chronicle and some local radio the week leading up to the event.  QUESTIONS ask Debbie

If this works, we can do a Fall Trail, Winter Trail, Spring Trail

This could be a game changer for your winery or lodging.
