Hi again, my dear Yountville!
August is already coming to an end, can you believe it? Harvest season is here, our roads are filling with trucks loaded with grapes ready for the crush, vineyard crews are hard at work and golden hour seems to get a little longer every evening.
For this newsletter, I’ve gathered all kinds of events from around the Valley, so hopefully everyone finds something that sounds like their kind of fun. Enjoy what’s left of August, and get ready for a very fruitful September!
Happy Friday! :)

Find Your Place In Yountville
New Membership Benefit
We’re adding a brand-new benefit for Chamber business members: you can now send us your job openings, and we’ll help share them with a broader audience!
This is the first step toward a larger workforce development hub we’re building to make hiring (and finding local opportunities) a little easier across our community. While that platform is still in the works, there’s no reason to wait to start helping.
Whether you’re hiring in wine, hospitality, restaurants, professional services, arts and entertainment (or just about any other industry) we’d love to help get the word out.
Simply send your job posting and details to frederik@yountville.com.
It’s one more way we’re putting your membership to work. We know business owners and managers already have plenty on their plates. Finding the right person for the team shouldn’t have to be one more thing you tackle alone.
