Vine 2 Wine Classic | Ticketless Wine Tastings | Breast Cancer Support

Posted by circleofhopescv on April 28, 2011

 Circle of Hope, Inc. is proud and honored to continue the tradition set by  The Betty Ferguson Foundation by hosting  the 10th Annual Vine 2 Wine classic event. 

CLICK ON THE WINE GLASS TO VIEW A SHORT VIDEO ABOUT THE EVENT

This year we are excited to announce that the Mann Biomedical Park will be hosting the event, held on June 12, 2011 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. While Vine 2  Wine has been a  signature event in the Santa Clarita Valley for 10 years, we are excited to report that we will be introducing new elements to the afternoon by expanding the number of tables where outstanding wines will be poured by local vintners, introducing well-known wineries, wine distributors, wine stores and others.  We will also be showcasing several tables where rare and collectible library wines will be available for tasting.  In addition, we are adding a Beer Garden of Hope and a sausage pairing to the day’s tastes, and entertainment will be provided for our patrons’ pleasure.  

 This year’s event will be chaired by local radio personality Janice Murray and Eve Bushman, a local wine expert.  Joining the ranks of this year’s Vine 2 Wine Committee is Jeff Jacobson.  Jeff brings an enormous amount of knowledge and expertise, having previously served as the chairman of the wine committee for the respected and highly successful SCV Wine Classic.   

 In an effort to assist the Betty Ferguson Foundation (BFF) and continue the organization’s commitment to College of the Canyons, 10 percent of the profits raised will be donated to the Betty Ferguson Foundation’ s Education Advancement Forum (EAF) Scholarship at College of the Canyons.  Tickets are available for purchase for $50, which includes unlimited tastings (Day of Event will be $55).  For more information or to purchase tickets please call Circle of Hope, Inc. at 661-254-5218 or visit us at www.CircleofHopeInc.org
