Wine-Tasting Event Supports College of the Canyons Library
SANTA CLARITA - A wine tasting event, sponsored by Wine Savor and benefiting the College of the Canyons Library, will be held in the colleges’ bucolic, outdoor Cougar Den facility beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday, May 14. The College of the Canyons Foundation Library Associates are the hosts of the event that will feature international wines.
This popular event is returning to the college after a 2-year hiatus. Tickets are $50 for Members and $60 for non-members. Attendees must be at least 21 years of age to participate.
The “Passport to the Wines of the World” international wine tasting is being conducted in partnership with the college’s Hotel and Restaurant Management students and faculty. Wines from regions in Italy, France, North and South America, Germany, Spain and Australia will be poured.
The Library Associates rely on community support to ensure that the college’s Library is well equipped with up-to-date resources. The funds raised help to purchase books, reading, and high-quality library resources and services at College of the Canyons through memberships and fundraising activities. During the past year, funds were used to purchase books for the One Book, One City program and provided support for expanding academic programs such as Radio, Television, Film Production and the performing arts.
Since this year’s event is being supported by the Hotel and Restaurant Management program, a portion of the revenue from this event will be provided to that program to help fund the food and wine classes taught at the college.
To become a member of the Library Associates or to purchase tickets, please call the COC Foundation at 661-362-3493.
