Wine Festival Committee

The success of the wine festival is based largely on the volunteer role of the Quad City community and how it rallies behind this noble effort of supporting higher education.

All of us at St. Ambrose would like to thank the committee for their time and stewardship in helping make this event such a success. For more information, contact Amy Jones, St. Ambrose University Director of Special Events.
