LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Winery Association seeks volunteers and sponsors for the 2013 Lake County Wine Awards Competition held at Brassfield Estate Winery and The People’s Choice Award held this year on Aug. 31 at the Lake County Fair.

Volunteers assist with the organization and execution of the professional wine judging, alongside the esteemed panel of judges, Director Ray Johnson and the Lake County Winery Association chairpersons July 8-12 at Brassfield Estate Winery in Clearlake Oaks.

Volunteers are critical contributors, supporting the Lake County Winery Association’s goals of developing awareness and recognition of Lake County as a preeminent winegrowing and tourism destination – as they strive to make this the most successful and publicized awards competition to date.

Sponsors help fund critical aspects of the professional judging, wine awards dinner, and the people’s choice award events, marketing and public outreach.  

Sponsors are given the opportunity to showcase their products and services to wine professionals, business people, wine enthusiasts and the community while supporting an important local nonprofit organization.

Sponsors ensure the success of these events for the visitors, residents, vineyards, wineries, and Lake County as a community.

In addition to our distinct appreciation, sponsors receive recognition at each event, in press releases, PSAs, and promotional materials distributed throughout Wine County and neighbors in Sacramento and the Bay Area.

Please contact Megan Hoberg at 707-279-4302 or Jacquelyn Farrington at 707-994-4068 to volunteer or sponsor this foremost wine event.
