Upcoming Events
In light of recent guidance from public health officials regarding the cancellation of events through the end of March to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Lake County Winegrape Commission regrets that Momentum 2020, which was scheduled for March 26, has been canceled.
The specific guidance urges cancellation or postponement of large events and those held in venues in which social distancing of at least six feet per person is not possible.
(Learn more about COVID-19 on the Winegrape Commission’s resources page.)
Refunds of ticket purchases will be issued automatically in the coming days. For any questions regarding refunds, please call the Lake County Winegrape Commission office at (707) 279-2633.
It is our hope that Momentum 2020 can be rescheduled in the coming months.
