Donation Requests

 

Viandel Vineyard Donation Policy

 

Thank you for considering Viandel Vineyard for your upcoming fundraising event!  We are proud to support a variety of local non-profit organizations.  Rather than in-kind donations of wine, we prefer to donate a Gift Certificate to our winery.  Viandel Vineyard does not offer cash sponsorships.

While we try to fulfill every request we receive, please help us by observing the following guidelines:

 

  • Due to the high quantity of requests that we receive, priority is given to local community organizations in our area/Southeast, MO area.  Unfortunately, we cannot contribute, or even respond, to all of the requests we receive.

  • Donations requests must be submitted at least 6 weeks prior to the final date to be included in your print ads/media/auction books.  We review all donation requests once a month during the first week of the month.

  • All requests for donations need to be submitted on the Donation Request Form with a copy of your letter or flyer attached.  Please send via e-mail or mail.

  • If we decide to do an in-kind donation of wine, wine can only be donated if the event is free and open to the public.

  • Each organization is allowed only one donation per 12 month period.

 

Viandel Vineyard does not provide donations to the following:

  • Organizations that do not have an Internal Revenue section 501(c)(3) status

  • Requests outside the United States

  • Individuals

  • Annual or capital campaigns and endowment funds

  • Donations for political purposes

  • Courtesy advertising (i.e.: yearbooks, flyers and school programs)

 

Private After-Hours Wine Tasting for 10:  The tasting allows up to 10 people to gather at our tasting room in Mountain View, MO and be treated to a brief history of the area and a discussion of the wines and how they are made.  We provide the guests with a cheese and sausage tray from local purveyors.  The tastings last about 45 minutes, are offered after closing hours, and must be scheduled at least 2 weeks in advance by calling 417-934-0195.  Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. The certificates are good for one year from date on certificate. We value the private tasting at $100.  (Private After-Hours Wine Tastings are also available for purchase.)
