Wines Among the Vines Fundraising Event
Join us on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 (please note the date change!) for OPWSA's Wines Among the Vines fundraising event. We're so looking forward to enjoying an amazing afternoon and evening of fun, friends, family, wine, and DRAG!
The main event will be held at Rodman Hall in St. Catharines and will be accompanied by a lively and memorable drag show featuring Kenadie St. James, Macy Manolo, Katinka Kature, and some surprise guest performers...OPWSA Co-Chair, Rob Pividor, and OPWSA Executive Director, Jennifer Coens.
A welcome beverage, antipasto bar, and dinner will be provided at Rodman Hall, and additional beverages will be available for purchase at your convenience.
For those joining us for the full day of wine touring, we have a party bus picking attendees up in Toronto and Burlington, and this year we've added a bus for locals in the Niagara region to get around to all of the wineries.
Those participating in the wine tasting portion of the event, will receive wine tastings from Creekside Estate Winery, 13th Street Winery, Megalomaniac Wines, and Queenston Mile Vineyard.
The event promises to be a fun social afternoon and evening to support a great cause! All profits from this event's ticket sales will go towards raising funds for OPWSA's key programs, and it's also a great opportunity to introduce your friends and family to the PWS community – all while enjoy some delicious wine. Fundraising has never tasted so good!
Bus seating is limited, so get your tickets before it's too late! Those not taking the bus and driving themselves can meet us at the winery stops along the way with the purchase of a Self-Drive ticket, or at Queenston Mile for the main event only. Make sure to purchase the appropriate ticket type.
***Please note that this is an event for adults (19+). There will be no support options provided for individuals with PWS or children at the event.***
