Volunteers

Remember, volunteers represent the organizations producing and benefiting from the event. If greeting and helping wine and beer enthusiasts is something you want to do, then please keep reading. We want friendly, fun loving and dedicated volunteers. Not all assignments are glamorous, but all are critical to ensure the quality of the events that benefit our charity partners. Thank you for your interest and attention to our rules.
