Attendance is optional—you may choose which events you’d like to attend.Most events feature six courses paired with six wines, along with a reception pour to start the evening. While full menus are not shared in advance, you will be able to select your meal preference at checkout: standard, vegetarian, or pescatarian.Please note: pescatarian selections may not always include fish, but when a fish course is offered, it will be provided in place of a vegetarian option.Some events may open to non-members if space permits; however, members receive priority access and preferred pricing.Please note that membership structure, benefits, and event details may evolve over time as we continue to grow and improve the experience for our members.We look forward to welcoming you to the Windsor Essex Ontario Wine Society!Waiver and IndemnityBy purchasing a membership, you agree to the following terms:Cancellation PolicyAll event ticket purchases are final.
