The response to the COVID-19 crisis is having an impact on a long-time local event.
The Board of Directors of the Umpqua Valley Winegrowers Association has decided to postpone the Greatest of the Grape, which was scheduled for March 21st at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. The 50^th anniversary celebration of local fine wines has been moved to Saturday September 12th. Information from the UVWG said their concern is for the health and well being of all who participate.
Tickets already purchased will be honored for the new date. Those with questions can go to www.umpquavalleywineries.org.
