The private event begins at 6 pm, and guests will have a chance to settle in before the author reading/discussion, which typically begins around 6:30.
Broken Creek has beautiful grounds with picnic tables and smaller tables on a covered porch. Weather permitting, the author reading and discussion will take place outside. However, there is room to sit at tables inside, and if the weather doesn't cooperate, the full event will be held inside.

You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own spread of snacks or a meal! There are small snacks available for purchase from the winery. However, food is not included in your ticket.
If you already have the author's book or if you and another attendee plan on sharing one (ie. you are part of a couple and both bought tickets): 1. Make sure you bring your copy to get signed! 2. You may swap out the book for another at the tasting. Just see Beth so she can record the information.
