It\u2019s something the APCO family is very proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All profits from this weekend\u2019s event will be donated to people who have been directly affected by Australia\u2019s recent bushfires.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Gleeson said following Black Saturday, the foundation wanted to help if disaster struck Australia again. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt (Black Saturday) was one of the catalysts for reasons for starting the APCO Foundation, so it was not a hard decision to decide to donate all the money from the Geelong Wine Walk to those affected by the bushfires,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best thing is that if people enjoy themselves at our Wine Walk, we get to do some good in the world and maybe we can brighten what can be some very dark days for some of our fellow Australians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each venue \u2013 Sailors\u2019 Rest, Geelong Boathouse, Fisherman\u2019s Pier, There There, Frankie, Shorts Place Social and the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre \u2013 will be matched with different producers for multiple tastings as patrons make their way around Geelong. <\/p>\n<p>Live entertainment will be provided by Kim Cooper, Chook &amp; Moluck, Cameron Bryce, Abi and Brett Grace and Blue Wax Duo. <\/p>\n<p>Tickets are $110 per person.
