The Village at Squaw Valley Hosts the 25th Annual Alpen Wine Festival Labor Day Weekend

Wine tasting, live music, silent auction and raffle to benefit Can Do MS on September 1 at The Village at Squaw Valley


[Olympic Valley, Calif.] August 21, 2013 – Wine lovers can enjoy early fall in the Sierra at the 25th Annual Alpen Wine Festival held on Sunday, September 1 from 2-5 p.m. at The Village at Squaw Valley. All proceeds from the festival benefit Can Do Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a national nonprofit organization sponsoring lifestyle empowerment programs for people with MS and their support partners.

For a $40 donation, guests can enjoy wine from more than 30 Northern California vineyards. Lady & the Tramps and Milton Merlos will perform on two different stages to accompany the festival. Among the featured wineries are Dogwood Cellars, Gamble Family Vineyards, Arbios Cellars/Praxis Cellars, Twisted Rivers, Bjorn & Gauge Wines, Lang and Reed and Sarita Estates Vineyard.

Amidst the background of wine and music, guests can peruse the silent auction and raffle, which includes Squaw Valley lodging packages, shopping sprees, restaurant gift certificates, lift tickets, art and unique wines by the bottle and case.

Last year, the Alpen Wine Festival raised $18,000 for Can Do MS. Fundraising events like Alpen Wine Festival allow Can Do MS to continue to bring lifestyle empowerment programs to Northern California for people living with MS. For more information about Can Do MS’ lifestyle empowerment programs, please visit www.mscando.org.

Tickets for the event will be available on site starting at 1 p.m. on Sunday, September 1, 2012 or in advance with online purchase at www.mscando.org. The majority of wines served at the event will be available for purchase at Uncorked in The Village at Squaw Valley.
