Federation Convention

The FWFSA Convention includes a Friday night function, a Saturday event, the formal black-tie Saturday dinner (including wines from the FWFSA Cellar), and Sunday lunch over a weekend. The Convention will generally also include the opportunity to participate in a pre-convention tour or a post-convention tour or both. The Convention is held every second year.
