Even if you are 99, you need to bring your ID. Licensing for the event requires all IDs must be checked in order to get the “21+” wrist band, which is required for tastings. Feel Free to bring your own lawn chairs. We have doubled the shaded seating areas in 2023 and will continue this added comfort. There will be great food vendors at the event. Bring your appetite.
