An open house celebrating a partnership between the Brown County Winery and the Brown County Humane Society will take place Saturday, October 4 from 1 to 5.
Enjoy an afternoon of free wine samples, games, live music, and treats. Greet a few shelter dogs, too, and taste the winery’ s newest release,“ Peach for Paws” fruit wine. Until Christmas, 10 % of Peach for Paws wine sales will be donated to the Brown County Humane. Society( BCHS). Savor the flavor while contributing to the shelter. This event is suitable for all ages.
Both the Brown County Winery and BCHS have been receiving accolades of late— the winery for its award-wining varieties of vino and the shelter for reducing its intake numbers by about half in the past four years. They are partnering for the first time this fall on the Peach for Paws / Wine for a Cause campaign to raise funds for BCHS and put smiles on the faces of peach wine lovers.
