An expected 20 wineries will offer tastes from fine wines either produced in Lake County or made from grapes grown in the county. Approximately 20 local restaurateurs and caterers will provide tasty bites.

To keep the fun going, live music will play throughout the tasting by Polecat Rodeo and Without A Net. A great antique car collection will be on view as well.
