Wine and Words 2021
Tickets are on sale NOW!
Wine and Words 2021 is in the planning and we are so excited for this year's lineup of amazing authors!
We have given great consideration to how to make this event comfortable for all who attend. Social Distancing practices will be in place by offering 50% fewer seats per event this year and tables of 8 instead of tables of 10.
Due to this reduction in seating per event, we have made the decision to extend Wine and Words by adding on Wednesday, August 18th. Our incredible author line up all agreed to do an additional day. Three opportunities to attend this year, and a fourth virtual option as well.
We will also be offering a virtual experience for those who are unable to attend in person. This ticket will give you a link to a live event on Thursday, August 19th. Our Friends Board is excited to offer even more ways to experience Wine and Words.
Tickets are scheduled to go live this year on May 1st, 2021.
