Our goal is to have a celebration and Festival for all writers, not only to improve their craft, hone their business know-how, but also to connect with other like-minded individuals to garner a sense of support and community. Come and raise a glass of wine to great writing, to learning, and being inspired by the beauty around us.

“The Wine Country Writer’s Festival is exactly as glorious as it sounds. Great company, enriching programming and perfectly paired socializing opportunities. I travelled all the way from Alberta for it and will do it again next year.”
