Map Deliveries

We have been hitting the pavement this week delivering maps to all of our members, along with some new map holders.

We really want to SEE those maps on display at every tasting room, coffee shop, gift shop, hotel etc, in wine country.

Customers should see Wine Road everywhere, so they know we are the "go to" resource when they are planning their wine tasting adventures.

2026 will be the 50th anniversary of Wine Road. Imagine how many maps have been distributed over the years. We ARE the go to map!

Sip Into The Weekend

By now participating wineries should have one of these posters.

We also mailed posters to our lodging members, visitor centers and other local businesses to help us spread the word.

I will be sending a poll to the participating wineries to see if you want to continue to "Sip into the Weekend" through September.

Tickets Go On Sale Tomorrow.

Sign-up is done for this event.

For the Harvest Wine Trail,

wineries will offer some sort of fun, "only during harvest" type of opportunity and have three wines for attendees to sample.

We have mailed or delivered Wine Trail posters and postcard to participating wineries, our lodging members and local visitor centers.
