We were very fortunate to have such a dedicated group helping us out, especially with this inaugural event. The Woodinville Rotary is an amazing group of people and an integral part of the success of our event. I hope you found some time to enjoy the music, food and wine. Thank you for your support of Woodinville Wine Country. I look forward to working with you again.
