Enjoy Responsibly

Enjoy Responsibly @ Indie Wine mixer

At Indie Wine Mixer (IWM), we’re committed to providing a safe, enjoyable experience for all our guests. Our Responsible Consumption Guide ensures that you can savor every moment responsibly, from your first sip to your ride home.

Plan for a Safe Experience

Before you arrive, take a moment to review our Responsible Consumption Plan.

Here’s how you can enjoy the event responsibly:

  • Stay Hydrated: Water stations are located throughout the venue, each with signage reminding you to drink water between tastings.

  • Fuel Up: Food trucks and snack stations will be available all day. Eating while drinking helps you pace yourself and enjoy the day safely.

  • Plan Your Ride: IWM provides shuttle services to and from the event to The Bindery in Downtown McMinnville. Look for shuttle pick-up points at the event or ask our staff for assistance.

Resources at Check-In

When you arrive, our staff will welcome you with essential resources, including:

  • Event map highlighting water stations, food areas, and shuttle pick-up points

  • Responsible consumption guidelines and reminders

  • Personal spittoons to help you moderate your tasting experience if requested. Larger wine dump stations will be located throughout the event space.

Stay Hydrated & Eat Well

Our water stations are stocked and ready to keep you hydrated. Look for signs like “Stay Hydrated. Drink Water Between Tastings.” Need a snack? Visit our food vendors for a variety of options to keep you fueled throughout the day.

Vendor Management & Responsible Pours

Our vendors are trained to pour responsibly, with each sample limited to 1oz. Floor Monitors will be on site to ensure guests are safe and comfortable. If you or someone you know appears intoxicated, a Floor Monitor will discreetly offer assistance, including food, water, or options for a safe ride home.

Shuttle & Transportation Options

For a safe and smooth exit, take advantage of our shuttle service. Shuttles run throughout the event between Ricochet Wine Co. and Downtown McMinnville. For more information, speak to any staff member at the mixer.
