The event is public: In addition to aiming to serve area brides, the Bridal Showcase is a great resource for vendors, corporate services, epicureans and wine lovers, as well as something fun to do for those seeking a Sunday afternoon activity.

Kluge Estate was established in 1999 by vintner Patricia Kluge. The winery is tucked into Carter's Mountain on 2,000-acres situated just miles from the birthplace of American viticulture, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. The terroir, soils and rolling hills make Kluge the ideal spot to create fine wines, but the verdant setting is so lovely and welcoming that the location is also a perfect place for nuptials and other wedding related events.
