What we’re about
Welcome to WineBudz – a "no-wine-snobs-allowed" group in Kitsap County and beyond. Whether you’re brand new to the vine or a ripened enthusiast, you will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere here. We will offer several events every month at venues all over Kitsap County, from Poulsbo to Silverdale, Bremerton & places beyond. As variety is the spice of life, so too will we provide a wide variety of meetups... from the traditional (i.e. happy hours, wine tastings, wine classes, wine dinners, etc.) to the novel and one-of-a-kind (i.e.... well, you’ll just have to join to find out!). So come make new friends and perhaps learn a bit about wine along the way. You must be 21 to join and no older than 121 (as we are concerned about your ability to drive home).
To all members: Part of joining WineBudz includes agreeing with the following legal statement releasing WineBudz plus Betsy Tarpley from any liability for injuries or other damages that you incur while attending and participating in any of our events. If you do not agree to the following, please remove yourself from the group and any of our activities and events. Thank you.
DISCLOSURE, RELEASE, HOLD HARMLESS, AND INDEMNITY. I wish to participate in activities offered by WineBudz, as presented on this website or otherwise.
