Interested in presenting at CWES?

 CWES welcomes inquiries from wineries and winemakers interested in presenting at one of our programs. Our events typically bring together 80–100 wine enthusiasts who are eager to discover new wines, learn about the people behind them, and hear the stories that make each winery unique.

A CWES program is an opportunity to do much more than pour wine. We want to hear about your winery, your winemaking journey and the wines you’ve chosen to share—from vineyard and varietal selection to winemaking techniques, vintage differences, regional influences and the stories behind the bottles.

Presenting at CWES gives you the opportunity to:

• Introduce your wines to 80–100 engaged wine enthusiasts
• Share the story of your winery and your approach to winemaking
• Showcase a selection of wines and help attendees better understand and appreciate what makes them unique
• Sell wine directly to attendees, when applicable
• Connect with potential new customers and wine club members
• Build relationships with wine enthusiasts who enjoy visiting wineries, purchasing wine and sharing their discoveries with others

CWES purchases the wine served during the program, and presenters have an opportunity to share information about purchasing additional wine, visiting the winery, joining the wine club, and other ways attendees can stay connected.

Our members particularly enjoy programs that combine great wine with great stories and a little education. You don’t need to prepare a formal lecture—we’re looking for an engaging, conversational experience that gives attendees an opportunity to learn more about your wines and the people and places behind them.

Start by reviewing the Program Outline below for information about the program format, wine selection, logistics, and what to expect. If it sounds like a good fit, contact us to introduce your winery and tell us a little about the wines you’d like to share. A group of board members will arrange a visit to try your wines and see if it is a good fit for our programs.
