2019 North Carolina Fine Wines Awards Gala

The 2019 North Carolina Fine Wines Awards Gala is ready to pop! Now in our third year, we've become known as North Carolina's premiere wine dinner. Be there when we'll announce for the first time which vineyards and wines will make up the 2019 NC Fine Wines Showcase! These are the top 12 wines that were selected by Advanced Sommeliers from the Court of Master Sommeliers. All of the wines are the dry European Styled wines that you would find on wine menus around the world.

It's a celebration that is open to the Public to watch as the winners are announced. You can come and learn about what's going on in North Carolina's 2 Billion dollar Wine Industry and why Yadkin Valley AVA was voted one of the 10 best regions in the country for wine. A full 1/3 of our seats have been pre-sold prior to ticket sales, so act now. Makes a great Christmas and/or Valentine's Day Gift.
