We appreciate the opportunity to support local female business owners, and/or highlight female vintners, and hope you like the diversity of options from around the county for non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, appetizers, desserts, and/or entrees. Cheers, and enjoy!

Sobar - “The Sobar (S)hero” Non-Alcoholic Drink

"Sobar is partnering with the WGC supporting women and girls in our community - to empower, build future leaders, and sometimes give just that little bit of help to get through tough times."

Visit our friend and partner Beth Harbinson at Sobar online, and take a look at this one-of-a-kind non-alcoholic drink made just for WGC Annual Celebration attendees that symbolizes giving in all of its forms. Your purchase also supports Sobar's mission to support the principles of recovery from alcoholism and addiction. Each box provides two servings:  $28.00 per box.
​

• Sobar (S)hero: Beth, who is one of WGC’s original founders, designed the “Sobar (S)hero" in the spirit of the WGC colors - a pink and cranberry delight that is a pomegranate and lemon blend with generous flavors of vanilla and toasted nuts providing a complex long mellow finish. Arkay’s natural flavoring includes a proprietary molecule to create a warm feeling in the mouth with 0% alcohol and is sugar-free. Boxes include everything WGC Annual Celebration attendees need for your beverage including lemon and organic pomegranate sugar for the rim! 

The Sobar (S)hero can be purchased online here, and delivered or picked up - sip & savor! DEADLINE for delivery pre-event is noon on Saturday, March 6!
