Abstract: Economic benefit is a motivator for communities and wineries to participate in events (Byrd et al., 2016; Kim et al., 2008). Two primary stakeholders have a vested interest in the success of wine festivals: participating wineries and host communities. Tourism is a driver of local wine sales, since most regional wineries are small-scale and lack access to traditional distribution channels. Nonetheless, investment in festivals needs to be evaluated against the reality that events often fail to meet expectations for returns on stakeholder investment (Crompton & Lee, 2000).
