When wine, community, and celebration come together, magic happens! For the fourth consecutive year, HipMaps has had the honor of partnering with Out In The Vineyard to design a custom HipMap for Gay Wine Weekend in Sonoma Wine Country.

A Weekend Worth Mapping

Gay Wine Weekend (July 18-20) brings together the LGBTQ+ community for an incredible celebration across the Russian River Valley and Healdsburg. From winemaker dinners and vineyard tours to a twilight T-Dance and drag queen brunch benefit auction, this weekend packs amazing experiences across multiple locations.

Why Multi-Venue Events Need More Than a Schedule

With so many venues, activities, and timing considerations, attendees need more than just a schedule – they need a visual guide that helps them navigate seamlessly between experiences. The Gay Wine Weekend custom-branded map allows attendees to use the HipMaps interactive app where they:

• See their real-time location right on the Gay Wine Weekend HipMap so they never get lost.
• Read curated event details and insider tips about each location.
• Utilize website links for last-minute information.
• Access turn-by-turn directions to ensure everyone arrives at the right place at the right time.

The Power of Connection

Gary and the Out In The Vineyard team understand that great events are about connection – between people, places, and experiences. By providing attendees with a beautiful, functional tool – branded to reflect the weekend's celebratory spirit - that guides them through their weekend, they're removing barriers and creating space for what matters most: community and celebration.
