It’s back! After a three-year hiatus, #openlocalwine, an international celebration of local wine created by Lenn Thompson and Gina Shay, will return on November 9, 2024.

#openlocalwine was created to support and help local wineries during the COVID-19 pandemic when tasting rooms were closed. That first event and the follow-up in 2021 were both hugely successful, with dozens of wineries across the United States and Canada offering special #openlocalwine promotions.

Thousands of local wine fans posted pictures of the wines they opened on Facebook and Instagram, and tens of thousands of social interactions on those platforms.

Now, Lenn and Gina want it to be a celebration of local wine.

We hope you’ll join us and thousands of fellow local wine lovers on November 9, 2024, for #openlocalwine night.

We are offering a great promotion that will help you celebrate this event on November 9th – see below for details. Don’t forget to tag William Heritage Winery and use #openlocalwine in any and all of your social media posts.
