SO MUCH HAPPENING

Holidays...oh my!

We'd like to get this event buttoned-up and online.

Deadline to sign-up is Sept. 30th

Sign-up: Holiday Wine Trail + Market

For this event, you need to list 3 wines you will be pouring AND at least ONE "item" that you want to showcase as a gift item - could be locally made, but not a requirement. Just something you want to showcase.

FYI - we ended up selling 155 tickets for the Harvest Wine Trail last Sat.

Cheers to 50 Years of Wine Road!

Let’s Make 2026 Unforgettable Together!

As we approach our 50th Anniversary in 2026, we’re pulling out all the stops to celebrate this incredible milestone—and we want YOU to be part of the magic!

Together, we want to create show-stopping, wine country getaways that showcase the best of what our region has to offer while celebrating the legacy of Wine Road and its amazing members.

Here’s the Plan:

Let’s Build 10 Unforgettable

Auction Packages.

We’re looking to secure 10 “winery stays” donated by our members for an online auction. These stays (homes) will be the centerpiece of our packages, and we’ll pair them with exclusive, above-and-beyond experiences to make each getaway truly extraordinary.

Looking For Goodies

For VIP Ticket Buyers

I am looking for some fun things to put into goodie bags.

We'll need 30 of each item.

Hats, Logo Items, Packaged Food Products (jelly, honey, olive oil, cookies)...something along those lines.

If you have an item, I will come pick it up. You could attach a comp tasting card to the item as an incentive for them to visit you.

I only need three items, so if there are more items offered, I could use them for Winter WINEland.
