Event Date & Times: DecemberĀ 14th 10am-5pm
Event Set Up:Ā For this event there will be 2 options for Set up:
FIRST OPTION- You can set up the night before (12/13), but the timing is dependent on where your booth is located.Ā Set up for the Patio and Mountain View Levels is allowed at 9pm (it can't be any earlier as the winery will still have guests in those areas).Ā Set up is allowed as early as 6pm for spaces the Vineyard Level.Ā Please be aware that even though this event IS located on private property, there will be no security at night to monitor your tents. We will be closing the gates and have a trail camera active, but we will not be locking the gates.
SECOND OPTION- You can set up the day of (12/14), as early as 7am.
Either way, all vendors must be set-up with your vehicles off the property and in the specified Vendor Parking Areas by 9:30am.Ā I will send out specific Vendor Parking locations closer to the event.Ā We will also have our very handy volunteers there to help you get situated and to address any issues you may have.
I also want to note, that we are in the Mountians...(if you haven't been to the Living Waters Winery before, I highly recommend it!). So most spaces you will not be able to pull a car up to.Ā Bring your carts and totes, then when you temporaily park as close as you can, you can unload and move into your designated area (and please don't forget we do have helpers there for this exact situation šš)
Ā Event Breakdown:Ā We ask nobody start breaking down their tent until 5pm.
(If the customer flow has slowed down for you, then feel free to start packing up the little things around 4pm.Ā Just please don't remove your tent until 5pm...as we don't want to look like liars to potential customers/the public who could only get there at 4:30/after they got off work...)Ā
Either way, we need to have everything broken down 'Event-wise' by 8pm.
Again, we are in the mountains and pulling a vehicle up to your vendor spot is pretty unlikely for Most spots....please bring carts and totes, and we will have helpers and a golf cart on hand to assist everyone in Breaking Down and getting packed up. (Then, if you want to stay for some wine and a view, feel free to park in the customer parking! šš)
Event Space Fee:Ā Ā Since this venue is not a flat room, Spaces are area-priced:
Ā Vineyard Level $50 (Space size is 10x10) (15 spaces left)
-Spaces are amongst the Vineyard (Closest to the Larger Customer Parking Lot, but furthest from the Winery.Ā But there is a constant Shuttle Bus bringing customers up and down (to get their wine can come back to see you!))Ā
Event Requirements:
-Tent Weights are Required at this event.Ā Apparently the wind gusts here at this venue are No Joke.Ā Ā
-There will be Wifi that can reach to the Patio Level and Mountain View Level.Ā Other than that, there is amazing cell service there.
-There is no Electicity available.Ā If you Do need to bring a generator, you will need to have a space in the Vineyard Level, so it won't interfere with their Live Music.
