Vendor spaces
Vendors are limited to craft and specialty food. Priority is given to previous vendors. We do NOT have food trucks at this event.

Have a store or restaurant and want to participate?
We depend on our Downtown Businesses who get paired up with a winery or brewery, along with a food retailer. This is what makes the event so fun! You can provide your own food or we can match you up with a local food vendor. Let us know if you want to participate and we’ll be in contact.

Do you allow food trucks?
No, we don’t have food trucks because we offer small bites of food at most locations in the price of the tickets. It doesn’t make sense for our event format.

Want to Volunteer?
We have volunteer spots to fill including registration, set up and take down, and friendly people to keep an eye on event attendees at each location. The main task is to remind them not to leave each venue with wine or beer in their glass. You'll be a part of the 90+ volunteers that help make this event so fun! Contact us on the form under the Contact tab and we’ll get you signed up or find a spot here
