2025 Eastern Winery Exposition | Sharing Wine

Sharing Your Wine

As a way of facilitating education and networking, we encourage everyone in the EWE community to share their knowledge and continue to learn about what others in the East are doing. What better way to do this than sharing and tasting each other’s wines? There are two EWE events designed just for this:

Welcome Wine Reception, March 25
The reception features wine tasting stations from states, associations and regions throughout the East.

13th Annual EWE Industry Celebration Dinner, March 26
Wines will be poured at the reception prior to dinner and also staged on dinner tables for everyone’s enjoyment during the meal.


Would You Like to Pour Wine at the Welcome Wine Reception?
You can take your participation one step further by pouring the wine from your region and sharing your knowledge about it. Contact your association or AVA directly to participate. Click here to view a list of participating EWE associations. If your association is not on the list and you would like to represent your state or region at the event, contact Marcia Gulino by February 27 at marcia@easternwineryexposition.com. Any volunteers who have not yet registered will be given a complimentary Reception pass.
