#OpenLocalWine 2021 is Coming Up!

Join in the #OpenLocalWine fun this April! This event last year raised almost $40,000 that went directly into participating wineries’ tills (and that was only 30% of the participants reporting their sales from the event). Link to winery registration is at the bottom of the following article.
