Summer Wine Social - 7th Annual
The annual Wine Social is widely recognized throughout the San Diego as the premier networking event of the year for the technology and life sciences communities. Not only does it draw a large percentage of executive attendees (in excess of 40% of the audience), but the event also features fine wine from more than 25 boutique international wineries and distributors. Over the last several years, the Wine Social has attracted more than 1600 unique guests. We’ve enjoyed wines from 42 boutique wineries and distributors; from as far away as Spain and Germany to Mexico, and of course up and down the west coast.
We routinely hear comments that the networking access across industry and business lines is easy. And, the wineries regularly comment that it’s an audience appreciative of fine wine, which makes it worth their time and donation.
Who should attend?
CEOs, entrepreneurs, technologists, service providers from a variety of technology and life sciences segments who enjoy fine wine and networking.
