VIP Evening with Celia Welch
at Saucon Valley Country Club
Virtual Livestream Event with
Wine and Food Delivery
To celebrate our 15th year in support of NCHGS and The Children’s Home of Easton, the Lehigh Valley Wine Gala will be held in the spring. We’re excited to bring you a unique hybrid event both at Saucon Valley Country Club and via livestream.
Sponsors will be treated to an intimate evening with famed winemaker Celia Welch, either in person (and socially distanced with a small group) or virtually from the comfort of home, with wine and custom food pairings.
Sponsorship also includes tickets to our September 18 Wine Auction at Hugh Moore Park. This year’s event will feature fine wood and food from local restaurants, live and silent auctions, a cigar and bourbon experience, and more.
Visit www.lehighvalleywinegala.com for sponsorship opportunities and more information, or call 610-253-1222.
About Celia Welch
Celia was born and raised in Medford, Oregon as the daughter of parents who loved wine, home winemaking, gardening and great food, and pursued wine studies at UC Davis, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Fermentation Science in 1982.
In 1992 Celia began a small consulting practice and realized the joy in working with small, single-vineyard estate properties and the passionate visionaries who own them.
She currently consults for a limited selection of Napa Valley clients, primarily with their own estate vineyards, producing ultra-premium Cabernets and other varietals for them and for her own brand, Corra.
Celia was honored with Food & Wine’s Winemaker of the Year 2008, and in 2009 was nominated for a James Beard Award. Forbes.com honored her as one of America’s Top Ten Tastemakers in 2005. Women for Winesense awarded her their 1999 “Hall of Fame Award”, and she received The Rising Star Award from the same organization. She is a professional member of the ASEV, and a past co-chair of the Napa Valley Wine Technical Group.
