By Forbes May 2023
"The world’s first and only LGBTQ+ wine festival is slated to return for its second annual celebration. Queer Wine Fest brings together wineries with LGBTQ+ leadership in the Willamette Valley for the community to gather together, taste and celebrate.
The line-up of wineries for the 2023 festival includes returning favorites and newcomers. "I'm so excited for the opportunity to participate in such a rare and special event like Queer Wine Fest. It's no surprise something as ever-shifting, dynamic, and exciting as wine would prove a magnet for this eclectic gathering of wonderful queer producers,” said David Lauer, Bryn Mawr Vineyards' Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “It's a phenomenal opportunity to create and strengthen our community, something so central and dear to the LGBT+ experience."
