Workshop Opportunities
Part of the fun of a wine conference is the hands-on, interactive activities that we all look forward to. If you are an agent, wine writer, food (cheese, olive oil, etc.) representative, stemware representative, wine trade organization or you simply have a bright idea that wine lovers might enjoy, such as tastings, demonstrations, travelogues, music and wine, wine service,etc. this is the venue for you. We are looking for educational, interactive and creative ideas.
We’re up for anything that will make the conference exciting, so we cordially invite you to submit your proposal for a workshop - this year’s integrative themes include:
-
Wine and Food
-
-
The Language of Wine
But the workshops don’t necessarily have to fall within those categories because of additional time slots dedicated to Educational Tastings. If you have a creative idea, we’ll find a place for it.
