Rising Stars Event Showcases New Wineries

The Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center is hosting a Rising Stars tasting event on Friday, August 26^th.

Executive Director Abbey Cameron said the inspiration from Washington Tasting Room magazine whom is a partner for the event.

“We were just thinking about different ways that we might be able to further show support and give some wineries a leg up and we thought that giving new wineries a spotlight and some more exposure might be a great way to do that.”

Cameron said that despite their connection to the industry, there were so many new wineries opening, it was hard to keep up with all of them and she hopes this can bring these startups some new fans.

“Everybody is going to get a program that lists all the wineries so they can make notes and remember what they liked and maybe plan to visit the area where that winery’s tasting room is located, so we really hope that it has lasting effects beyond just next Friday evening for these wineries.”

VIP tickets are $40 and allow access from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. with general admission tickets also available.
