Sip, Support, and Save a Pup!

Join us for a special Pop-up Wine Tasting Fundraiser in support of Almost Home Dog Rescue!

Our Connection: We have happily adopted two wonderful dogs from Almost Home ourselves, so we know firsthand the love and joy their mission brings to families!

Just like a great bottle of wine, the pups have brought joy, warmth, and a little extra sparkle to our lives!

The Mission: To provide a haven for local shelter dogs and facilitate their adoption into permanent loving homes. We will lead by example, providing a transition environment with comfortable housing, mental/physical stimulation, and basic training to enrich the lives of both the dogs and their adopters alike.

The Fundraiser: to support Almost Home Dog Rescue NC’s mission and give more dogs the second chance they deserve.

Friday November 14, 2025, from 4PM – 6PM at Broad Street Wines in Brevard.

Come sip, mingle, and meet fellow dog lovers as we raise a glass (and funds!) for our furry friends! Whether you’re discovering a new favorite wine or just want to support the rescue, every pour helps make a difference.

Thanks to the generosity of Courtney Ondrias and Tryon Distributing, we’ve got some great bottles ready to go home with lucky donors! Donate to enter the wine pull!
