Our annual wine tasting will serve as our launch for The Town of Bedford’s REV UP 250th anniversary celebrations scheduled to take place throughout the year.

The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity for us as a community to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation.
