Participants embark on a curated journey through select wineries, engaging in memorable activities and wine tasting, all while enjoying personal interactions with the iconic musicians.

PAST GRAPES UNDER PRESSURE
2011
The inaugural event combined a wine tour with fundraising activities, setting the tone for future editions.
Thank you note from Geddy: I would like to take a moment to thank all those fans and friends who participated in the GRAPES UNDER PRESSURE eBay auction to benefit GRAPES FOR HUMANITY CANADA. With your help we managed to raise over $50,000 dollars! When combined with monies raised in our other G.U.P. events we will be able to significantly improve the lives of disadvantaged and injured people around the globe and more immediately will aid THE HALO TRUST in establishing a pilot project in Savannakhet Province, Laos, to address the urgent problem of casualties caused by cluster bombs. Alex, Neil, myself and the entire G.U.P. Team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
