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 lineup all agreed to do an additional day. Three opportunities to attend this year.
*Please note we were planning on a Virtual 4th option for Wine and Words as well and planned to hire a local company to film for us, however, due to the lack of interest in this option that we thought we would have as well as the cost, the Board made the decision to remove this option. Thank you for your understanding.
Tickets are scheduled to go live this year on May 1st, 2021.
