WELCOME WINERIES

We expect more than 1,000 vino-loving attendees at the Wine Walk in The Village this year. We are proud to once again partner with A Frame Fine Wines & Spirits to offer an improved wine shopping experience, including a larger store-like wine sales layout with extended hours during the Wine Walk to better accommodate all attendees.

If selected, wineries are required to provide a minimum of five cases (60 bottles) of wine and at least one person to participate/pour at the event. Any wine not poured during the event will be collected by MMCF volunteers. In exchange, the winery will receive eight unrestricted/fully transferable 2027/28 Mammoth Mountain lift tickets, a $1,600 value.

The Mammoth Wine Weekend is a fundraising event for the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation (MMCF), a local 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides funding through grants and scholarships to support educational and athletic programming throughout the Eastern Sierra.
