Weekly Member Memo – Nov. 17, 2015
Calling All Wine Road LODGINGS
We will be kicking off a social media campaign in late November featuring your holiday decorations. So we’ll need high resolution photos. If you don’t have holiday decor, but you have some beautiful shots of your lobby with a fire going, or a toasty firepit for guests to sit around outside – something “wintery” we’ll use that. We will be posting one a day on various platforms to encourage visiting NOW or booking your room for Winter WINEland. Send photos to: Mysty Stewart our social media manager
Winter WINEland
Tickets sold: 550 for the event and 25 for the breakfasts. Goal 5000 for event and 80 for the 2 breakfasts (40 each location). Wineries now have until December 1st to go back in and add their program information. Use your email confirmation from Eventbrite to log back onto your page. Reimbursement is up to $500 toward, food, supplies, decorations, rentals. The REQUIRED pre-event meeting will be Jan.6th, location to be determined. Check-in 8:30am, meeting 9:00am. We will be handing out $250 checks that day to all participating wineries to motivate your decorating ideas. After the event, checks will be sent for the balance due. Remember, customers are able to vote for the best Winter Decor…that trophy could have your name on it this year!
Wine & Food Affair
Please submit your catering receipts by Dec. 7th for your reimbursement – that is the deadline. Supplies need to be returned by this FRIDAY.
We will be creating a Pinterest Board with YOUR recipes from Wine & Food Affair, but we need a food photo to go with each recipe. Send us a photo of your food from the event and we’ll get it posted ASAP.

For Wine Road this is a new event, but this will be the 4th Annual VinDiego, wine tasting event in San Diego, April 1 & 2, 2016. It is a fundraiser for their local food bank. We’d love to see some Wine Road members head down and create a Destination Wine Road section. It would be great to see 10 or more members attend. They are offering a discounted table cost of $275 instead of their normal $475. PLUS Wine Road will help by reimbursing you $200 after you register. Click for the registration
