Approximately 65 wineries will participate, each pouring up to four wines for you to taste. Admission to the Public Tasting includes:

Silent Auction
The Silent Auction offers you a chance to browse and bid on distinctive products from wineries and other businesses while you sip your wine. The auction features premium wines, some in engraved bottles, or in double magnums or larger bottles, and other rare wines not readily available to the public. There are also many wine-related gift items including gourmet gift baskets, specialty wine glasses, catered meals, special wine tastings and bed & breakfast weekends.
The Auction is held during the public tasting, from 6 to 8:15 p.m., in the same area as the winery booths. Winning bidders will be posted and the items will be available for pickup at 9 p.m. Checks (ID required), cash, VISA, and MasterCard are accepted for payment. Come prepared to bid on one or more of the many exciting items to be offered.
Food
Complimentary breads, fruits, and cheeses will be available at several locations in the Public Tasting area throughout the evening.

A separate seating area with tables will be set aside for enjoying your food and wine.
