BEFORE YOU GO
Q: Do I need to attend both Saturdays?

Q: What's included with my ticket?
A: Your ticket includes a minimum of two 1-ounce wine tastings at each participating winery on your selected date, a food pairing at each stop, and access to the day's local makers and Savor activities.
Q: Is transportation included?
A: No. Guests are responsible for their own transportation between wineries. Please plan for a designated driver or other safe transportation if you'll be tasting wine.
