12 Days of Christmas Wine Survivor Contest

Wine Survivor Contest

All proceeds from this draw go to support the good work of Abbey Gardens, a not-for-profit charity in Haliburton.

How the Wine Survivor Contest Works:

All Entries are due by November 15th.

The 12 Days of Christmas Wine Survivor Contest begins with the FIRST DRAW on Nov. 18th & the FINAL DRAW on Dec. 13th (12 Days before Christmas).

All participants contribute $25 + a bottle of wine (valued at approximately $20), or send an additional $20 and we will purchase your wine for you. Every day, at approximately 8pm numbers will be drawn and potentially eliminated. But there’s good news – just because your number is drawn doesn’t mean it’s over for you! You can re-enter the draw by paying another $25 by 3pm the following day. If your number is drawn again, unfortunately you are eliminated from the 2020 Christmas Wine Survivor Draw.

When we are down to the final 12 numbers, these are the price winners:

1ST place will win – 30% of the wine
2ND place will win – 15% of the wine
3RD place will win – 10% of the wine
4TH – 12TH place will each win – 5% of the wine

+MORE PRIZE WINNERS! 12 lucky participants will also win a FREE Abbey Gardens Membership for 2021!
