Meal tickets will be provided for volunteers who work more than 6 hours.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
Setup before the event: This includes setting up and stocking vendor booths and checking in exhibitors.
Event operations: Responsibilities include guest registration and directing attendees.
Event breakdown: Clearing the venue of attendees, winery personnel, and removing open wine bottles from tables. This also involves taking down winery signs and general cleanup.
Be prepared to work your entire shift and assist with any tasks that may arise before or after your shift. Follow the instructions of your Volunteer Lead.
Important Guidelines:
Dogs or other domestic animals are NOT allowed on the festival site.
Consumption of wine or any other alcoholic beverages during your shift is prohibited. Volunteers who consume alcohol while working will be dismissed and disqualified from future volunteer opportunities.
If you notice someone who is overly intoxicated or if you encounter any safety issues, please notify your Volunteer Lead. If you cannot find your Lead, inform another Lead, the Volunteer Coordinator, the Event Producer, or Security. Do not try to resolve the situation on your own.

Please be aware that no one under the age of twenty-one, including infants and children, is allowed in areas where alcohol is served. Additionally, family members or friends are not permitted to accompany you during your shift unless they are also assigned as volunteers.
