How it Works
- If you are interested in participating in this year’s Wine & Foliage Trail event, simply proceed to one of the wineries of your choosing during October 6th-15th (you may start at whichever one you’d like).
- Pick up an event ticket at the first winery you visit – all will have tickets available.
- Fill out 1/2 of the ticket and turn it in at the first winery. Keep the other half to record stamps/signatures.
- Enjoy your first seasonal wine pairing and have your ticket authorized in the assigned space for that particular winery.
- Proceed to the rest of the wineries and enjoy fall pairings + get more stamps/autographs!
- At your final winery stop, turn in your completed second half of the ticket to be entered to win any of the prize baskets. All participants who complete each stop on the trail will have a chance to win any of the individual baskets and the Grand Prize basket regardless of where they turn in their ticket.
Additional Info
- Each winery is not going to be open every single day during the event dates. Please plan your route stops accordingly based on winery hours.
- Winners for prize baskets will be drawn by October 22nd and notified by email.
