wine and dash?

name-this-really-long-fundraising-run filter! featuring: wine and a really great cause.
i'm organizing a very informal run/bike (about 30k) which will include about 19 stops for wine tastings every few kms. this is ramping up to be a fundraiser for an organization that provides support to women in crisis. prob about 50 participants max.
route? check. date? check. name? ummmmm...
this is definitely *not* a race. the goal is simply to raise funds, and to make it to the finish line standing (in order to celebrate at the after party!). there will likely be a strong contingent from the queer community.
would love the green's help naming this event. am hoping for nothing too solemn/serious, and leaning more towards the short and sweet + candid/campy/fun!
anything? i've been racking my brain for weeks.

Depending on where this event is taking place, it makes sense to check your local laws. Many places consider a bike-based DUI to be a crime.
Some name ideas:
Vine & Dash
Ready, Set, Sip
Is the wine from a particular region or local? If so, name it after the area. Example would be Willamette Valley Wine Race. Pay homage to your area and local pride. That, or brand it with the name of the organization you're benefiting to help increase awareness.

There's a similar race called the Tour De Franzia that always made me laugh...

Response by poster: @rhizome - it's through wine-country back roads, surrounded by vinyards.

I'm thinking a Sound of Music theme..."19 going on 30?"

Best answer: Crawfo's Charity Wine-a-thon
Bonus tagline: "It's a wine-a-thon, not whine-a-thon, now suck it up and run!"

Veni, Bibi, Vici?
Excellent, but I'd tweak it to, I think still valid, "Veni, Bibi, Bici."
