ASL Accessible Wine Tastings
I am an ASL user that will be working in the Mt Lehman Winery tasting room (in Abbotsford) on Saturday July 25th and Saturday August 1st. I work in the tasting room casually and we have added staff to those dates so I can be available for tastings specifically for the community.
We would like to extend the invitation to the Deaf community to come out and enjoy an ASL accessible wine tasting.
Tastings include 4 wines for $5. There is no fee if you purchase a bottle wine. We also have a patio available if you want to buy a bottle of wine and enjoy a glass or two overlooking the grounds. Fee free to bring your own picnic or snacks. It is first come first serve for the patio as we have limited seating due to social distancing.
We look forward to hosting you.
