“Queer Wine Fest helped cultivate a growing professional network while addressing other systemic problems within the wine industry. She explains: “Queer Wine Fest achieved its goals; we highlighted the queer contribution to the world of wine, put queer wine producers on an international stage and proved you can host financially and environmentally sustainable wine festivals. Queer Wine Fest is ending on a high note, while it’s really successful– it’s graduating.” And Queer Wine Fest has been nominated three times for a USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Award for Best Wine Festival. On Sunday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Remy Wines is hosting an expanded Opera on the Lawn event.
