This year, the wine tasting and festival replaces the native plant sale usually held every spring.

We respect the limits of our water resources due to the drought, so instead we're going to celebrate fine wine, music, and the written word. 

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend this affordable fundraiser.  Details below.
