The Wide World of Bacchus – Let’s play!

Whether a fan or a player, sports bring us together as a community. The 17th Annual Bacchus Awards theme is The Wide World of Sports. We invite you to join us at the Orleans Hotel and Casino on July 27th to celebrate our winemaking community reflecting the theme. Come dressed (if you like) to reflect any sport you choose as we dance, drink, eat and celebrate the BEST WINES MADE in the 2021 Winemaking Season of Grape Expectations School of Winemaking.

Your ticket grants one guest entry, unlimited red wine, buffet-style feast, and all the entertainment, community, shenanigans and celebration to ensue. Make sure you book your room early if you would like to take advantage of the Grape Expectations Group Rate offered by the Orleans Hotel and Casino. Details are on the Event Page of this Website.

Your ticket will be emailed to you directly after purchase. Please check your email, as well as your “junk folders’ and save/print the ticket to be granted entry on the night of the 27th.
