\"082015b\"<\/a>Wine Tourism Day<\/a> is a day for any wine enthusiast to enjoy. The third annual Wine Tourism Day, November 7, 2015, takes place at numerous local venues in North America.<\/p>\n

Wine Tourism Day spreads the word about the delicious wines produced and event proceeds are used to help\u00a0charities. Business venues\u00a0are urged to donate a portion of their proceeds to a local charity.<\/p>\n

If you are a wine enthusiast, be sure to watch the Wine Tourism Day website, to keep updated on the events that will start to be added to the events page.<\/p>\n

If you are a winery, wine experience provider, restaurant or wine shop you should consider participating. However, do not feel limited\u00a0to just these businesses; museums, theaters and other organizations should try to participate. \u00a0The idea is to get the word out.<\/p>\n

According to the Wine Tourism Day website, there’s a wide\u00a0range of ideas for events for the day. \u201cThe type of event you host can be anything you want: a lunch or dinner paired with wines, an evening musical performance, ‘family day’ with clowns and other activities for the kids, etc. For regional associations, see the\u00a0Finger Lakes success story<\/a> for an example of how you can participate.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the requests by the organizers is that you create a unique event for the day. In addition, post the logo and link to the Wine Tourism Day website.<\/p>\n
