The annual event held in May draws hundreds of people to outdoor tents to sample from among 400-plus wines, dozens of beers and specialty dishes served up by Dayton-area restaurants and caterers.
The crowded environment and concerns for safety led to the second year of cancellation, said Brady Kress, president and CEO of Dayton History.
This year the special wine and beer at-home packages have been curated by Heidelberg Distributing Co. and Arrow Wine.
“The aficionados there have put together these packages with some really fun varieties for people to take home,” Kress said. “If folks feel comfortable getting together in small groups in their homes, then we think there is enough wine there to make a little party.”
The proceeds will benefit Dayton History and its mission, which the organization describes as “to inspire generations by connecting them with the people, places, and events that changed Dayton and the world.”
