Our monthly programs are not just about industry education; They're also about feeling welcome.

Just like networking, to some, wine can feel intimidating. Let's change that together.

This month, we’re creating a setting that invites you to slow down and engage with each other and your food, while exploring the world of wine.

Whether you’re a longtime member or brand new to NACE, your presence is what makes this group so valuable. We’d love to break bread with you on January 13 at Terrain at Styers.
