We are gearing up for one of our favorite events of the year! It's our 17th Annual Wine/Beer Tasting & Auction on June 7th and you're invited:

BRC will host its 17th annual Wine/Beer Tasting & Auction on Wednesday, June 7 from 5:30 PM to 8 PM at a new location, the Blowing Rock American Legion.

Peabody's Wine & Beer Merchants will be pouring samples of their excellent inventory of fine wines. Local breweries include Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Blowing Rock Brewing, Boondocks Brewing, Booneshine Brewing Co., and Lost Province Brewing Co.

"We invite everyone in the community to come out and enjoy an evening of  great food and drink provided by local businesses to help support Blue Ridge Conservancy’s mission to protect our North Carolina resources," said Nikki Robinson, BRC’s Communications and Outreach Associate.

A silent and live auction and will feature local prizes donated from our community sponsors. Jesse Miller, with First Security Insurance, will lead the live auction. Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on local art, pottery, vacation packages, and many other items.
