Calling all Wine Lovers

Looking to stock up for the holidays and winter? We have the perfect fundraiser for you!

We’re hosting a Holiday Wine Survivor throughout November — it’s basically a raffle, but instead of cash, you win wine! At the same time, you’re supporting our Community Association, helping us offer free and affordable events and programs in our city.

The Wine

Our in-house Sommelier will curate a selection of high-quality wines at a special discounted rate — no cheap or mass-produced bottles. We’ll be partnering with a local Calgary small business, keeping true to our community focus.

Additional Rules

All ticket holders must be 18 years of age or older and able to present valid government-issued photo ID to claim prizes.
Open to all adults in Calgary — the more participants, the bigger the prize so get your friends in for some healthy competition before the holidays- or work together to split the prize!
