Unique Social Events
At the Midwest Grape & Wine Conference we find great value in providing social events for our Attendees and Exhibitors to network outside of the Trade Show and Sessions. Our social events are optional and require tickets to attend. They have always been very well received! Be sure to purchase your tickets when you register for the conference so that you are able to attend! There is no guarantee that we will have additional tickets availble to sell at the registration desk. We don't want you to miss out on the fun so be sure to purchase your tickets early!
