Edesia, A Culinary, Wine, & Spirits Adventure, presents: Carnaval in the Vineyards

Edesia is the annual, signature fundraising event hosted by the Wine Country Inn that benefits PrimeHealth+ (formerly MarillacHealth), Mesa County's community health center. Held over two days, Edesia offers two opportunities to relax and enjoy the pleasures of food and drink with friends and colleagues in a unique setting that is the Wine Country Inn.
Purchase tickets to the Wine Pairing Dinner, the Expo, or both! Both days are built around the Brazilian carnaval theme of celebration, rhythm, costumes, and food. Whichever you choose, bring friends, and know that your purchase and participation help support and provide affordable, high quality medical, dental, and behavioral healthcare to anyone who walks through our doors.
