A Message from the Wine Festival Committee and the Colorado Springs Conservatory.
In these unprecedented times, it has become evident that we need to place our plans for the April 2020 Festival on pause and explore alternative options to host our incredible events.
Effective March 17, 2020, we have made the decision to postpone the Wines of New Zealand Annual Wine Festival for Fall 2020. We respectfully ask for grace and patience as we work with our partners to explore alternative dates. We will keep you all apprised. In the meantime, we wish you health and safety and look forward to celebrating with you all soon!
With Gratitude,
Elizabeth Youngquist and The Wine Festival Committee
Linda L Weise and the Colorado Springs Conservatory
