The Grand Valley Wine Festival is being held  Saturday, October 1 in the Meyer Ballroom on the campus of Colorado Mesa University and benefits the Maverick Club's student-athlete scholarship fund.

This event includes a tasting of wine from around the world as well as a silent auction from 6:00PM-9:00PM.
