New members often wonder about the purpose of this exclusive OCWS event. The Wine Classic is an annual event that features the wineries from the annual OC Fair Commercial Competition. All medal-winning wineries are invited to attend. In addition to hundreds of fabulous wines, the event features some of Southern California’s premier restaurants, food purveyors and wine-related vendors. We hold this event each year for two important reasons: To showcase the award-winning wineries to the public, and to raise funds for our Scholarship Program.
The Wine Classic requires about 100 volunteers to make it run smoothly. There are a number of volunteer opportunities available throughout the event. As an added incentive, volunteers will receive a $20 rebate after the event for their assistance. Here are the volunteer rebate program details:
v All volunteers must pay for their ticket to the event in advance before their volunteer request will be processed. Please do not discount your ticket price when purchasing your ticket. Rebates will be sent to volunteers after the event in September.
v All shifts are filled in the order they are received at the office. Each sign-up is date-stamped when it is received. The good shifts fill up fast, so sign up early.
v All volunteer shifts are 2 hours in length.
v All shifts are designed to assist the event committee with pre-event setup, event activities, post-event cleanup and allow you to enjoy at least half of the event or more depending on the activity and shift.
New for this year: I am soliciting your help. We need food purveyors and restaurants. So, here’s the deal. Bring me an attending restaurant or food purveyor and receive two complimentary tickets. You don’t have to be on the committee to get this offer.
