FAQs

    • No one likes waiting in line. Please be prepared to tell wineries what wine you would like to try, and only sample one wine in a go (ie, don’t pound the sample and ask for a different one immediately if there are other attendees waiting behind you.)

    • Chatting with the winery partners is definitely encouraged, however do so in a way that is mindful of anyone waiting for a sample by moving to the side to have your conversation.

    • Hydrate before, during, and after the event.

    • Do not come on an empty stomach, or be prepared to eat something soon upon arriving. This is a marathon, and we want you to make it safely to the finish line.

    • Do not drive after the event if you have been sampling. Use a ride share service, public transportation, or arrange for a dedicated driver.

    • Be kind and courteous to all staff, guests, performers, and vendor partners. We are all here for the love of wine, and we will not hesitate to kick anyone out that is acting inappropriately.
