Volunteer

There are a variety of volunteer roles available to be involved in the festival, including festival operations, admissions, beverage/culinary serving opportunities and general ambassadors for wayfinding and guest relations.

You must be 21 years of age or older to volunteer to work during the events for the festival (opportunities for under 21 include event set-up). Volunteers receive a souvenir Whiskey, Wine & Wildlife apron, souvenir glassware and an opportunity to enjoy the event in which they are volunteering after their shift ends – or even free event ticket opportunities, depending upon the number of volunteer hours a volunteer can commit.

Volunteer attire includes black pants/shorts/skirts with collared white shirts. Depending upon the event (seated dinners, brunch, etc. will require long pants and long-sleeved collared shirts). All volunteers are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverages while volunteering, will be required to wear closed-toe shoes and must sign a waiver of liability.

Volunteer aprons and credentials will need to be removed before participating in event tastings. A special discount Promo code will be provided to volunteers for opportunities to Whiskey, Wine & Wildlife tickets. You will receive your promo code after signing-up for your volunteer shift.

There will be a mandatory attendance Volunteer Orientation Session scheduled on Wednesday, November 6, 2024. Each volunteer will receive their festival credentials and apron at the Volunteer Orientation session.
