Wine Over Water flows over four days
Popular wine-tasting fundraiser expands to seven events
Although Wine Over Water isn’t until Saturday, Oct. 6, events leading up to the popular wine-tasting fundraiser are already nearing sellouts.
Wine Over Water is a highly anticipated benefit held on the Walnut Street Bridge each fall to support the historic preservation projects of Cornerstones Inc. WOW has added more off-bridge events this year to turn the fundraiser into a dayslong wine festival and accommodate the wishes of Chattanoogans asking for more food and wine events.
