The Nevada City Chamber of Commerce and the Sierra Vintners are proud to announce their first collaboration in presenting the upcoming Nevada City Uncorked, August 6, 2011 from 1-4pm in historic downtown Nevada City.

We are expecting nearly 20 wineries and restaurants plus over 700 attendees from neighboring Foothill communities are expected to attend this inaugural event. Locations will be set up all within walking distance on Spring, Pine, Broad and Commercial Streets.

Attendees will be encouraged to visit local businesses, chat with merchants, and learn the history of our charming town while enjoying a sampling of local Foothill wines and food. From vintage cabs and buttery chardonnays to delicious crepes and creative California cuisine, there is something for everyone.

How You Can Get Involved

1. Restaurant as venue – You provide the food and venue while hosting a visiting winery or pouring your own wine in your restaurant. If you choose to have a winery pour at your restaurant you will need to forfeit your liquor license during the hours of the wine stroll. If you prefer to pour your own wine, remember that there is no limit to the number of tastes you must provide and there is no reimbursement for wine. You will be reimbursed 50 cents for every food taste ticket you turn in after the event. Cost is $0 for Chamber members, $25 to non-chamber member (ABC license)
2. Restaurant / Caterer off-site – Pair your delicious food with a local winery at a tasting room or retail shop. If you choose to serve your food at a retail shop, a representative from your business will need to be present and serve the food. You will be reimbursed 50 cents for every food taste ticket you turn in after the event. Cost is $0
3. Retailers – Host a visiting winery and restaurant/caterer. The Chamber will set up an existing table (or provide one) in your business where a winery will pour wine and a restaurant will serve their food. You act as the hostess who is the mostess, and provide the festival atmosphere and help spread the word. Cost is $25 (ABC license)
4. Sponsor – Sponsor this year’s commemorative wine glass and have your logo featured for attendees to enjoy for years to come. Cost is $TBD. Other sponsorship opportunities may include your business’ logo on the tickets and/or wristbands, signage at the event and complimentary event tickets.
