Visit Temecula Valley & Temecula Valley Wine Country Join Fire Relief Efforts to Support Northern California Wine Regions
Temecula Valley, California (PRWEB) October 24, 2017 -- Nearly 200,000 acres of Sonoma, Napa, Lake, and Mendocino Counties have burned due to the devastating Wine Country fires that began on October 8, 2017. Dozens of lives and thousands of structures have been lost to the fires, with many individuals still missing. In addition to homes and businesses, many wineries have been affected by the fires, and the industry, as well as the region, will need a significant boost to return to its pre-fire status.
Temecula Valley joins fellow wine regions throughout the state of California to support relief efforts in the communities devastated by the recent fires. The popular hashtags #CAWineStrong and #OneWineCommunity signify the unity within the California wine industry.
Temecula Valley, specifically, has offered the following support during this tragic time:
- Visit Temecula Valley Board of Directors unanimously voted this week to contribute $1500 dollars to the #CAWineStrong fire relief funds.
- Temecula Valley Wine Growers Association, together with its members, will be contributing $5 per SIP Passport sold throughout the month of October to be disbursed equally to the #CAWineStrong fire relief funds.
- Participating Temecula Valley wineries are donating proceeds from every bottle sold during the month of October to support relief efforts. Donating wineries include Callaway Vineyard & Winery, Cougar Vineyard & Winery, Doffo Winery, Europa Village, Lorimar Vineyards & Winery, Lorenzi Estate Vineyards & Winery, and South Coast Winery Resort & Spa.
