Are you the one that makes sure your friends and family make it home safely to tell the tales? If so, this pass if for you, with our gratitude. No drinking will be allowed at the event. No sampling glass will be given. Food and soft drinks will be provided. 

Note: if you start as a DD, then decide you want to be part of the action after all, you will be able to upgrade your ticket on-site to a VIP or General Admission status and then you can partake. However, if a designated driver is seen tasting or drinking, he or she will be escorted off the premises immediately and no opportunity to upgrade will be permitted at that time. 

This event is limited to those 21 years and up. We expect everyone to drink responsibly and understand that this is an upscale tasting event. Etiquette guidelines will be provided for the information and safety of guests.

COVID protocols may mean that there are necessary changes made to the event, possibly even at the last-minute. We are following the guidance closely and will communicate important updates to the registered attendees.

As this is a fundraising event to support a nonprofit, no refunds will be given. Thank you in advance for understanding!
