FEATURED RECEPTION WINES
l’Eté du Vin reception wines are graciously provided by the wineries below
While l’Eté du Vin features outstanding wines during the reception, we do not provide wine during dinner itself. Most of our patrons wish to bring their own cellar favorites to share with their table. We invite you to BRING YOUR OWN WINE for dinner. Volunteers will be on hand to assist in placing your dinner wine on your table during the reception.
