What is Come Over October?
Created by wine journalist Karen MacNeil – and public relations and communications veterans Gino Colangelo and Kimberly Noelle Charles DipWSET – Come Over October (a campaign under the trio’s mission-driven company, Come Together – A Community for Wine Inc) encourages friends, family and colleagues to “come over” during the month of October to share wine and celebrate friendship and in person connection.
The mission is to encourage people to invite family and friends, new and old, to come together during the month of October to share some wine and friendship. We believe that through the simple act of sharing wine, we share other things that matter— generosity, caring, and a belief that being together is an essential part of human happiness.
Come On Over Y'all
Texas is in full support of this campaign and has come together for Come Over October! But we’ve added our own Texas twist: Come On Over Y’all!
Spearheaded by TDA’s Uncork Texas Wines, the Come Over October and Texas “Come On Over Y’all” initiative is supported by Texas Wine & Grape Growers Association, Texas Hill Country Wineries, Texas Wine Growers and Texas Fine Wine. The collective group and it’s wineries and vineyards will promote the Come Over October campaign as part of Texas Wine Month and celebrate the role of wine in community, culture and lifestyle.
