Wine Country Gift Baskets Spirit of Giving Scholarship

Each year Wine Country Gift Baskets awards annual scholarships to three well-deserving students displaying the spirit of giving. The Wine Country Gift Baskets Spirit of Giving Scholarship is our way of encouraging acts of kindness, service and giving so they remain an important part of our future.

We are happy to award a scholarship of $1,000 to three winners.
