Grant Information
History of Le Tour de Vin:
Le Tour de Vin began in 2003 as a project of the Cross Timbers Rotary Club benefiting the American Red Cross and other local community projects. In 2008, the Norman and Sooner Rotary Clubs became partners in Le Tour de Vin as the event grew into one of Norman's premiere fundraising events. In 2018, the newly-formed Legacy Rotary Club joined the collaboration as well. Le Tour de Vin is now one of the largest wine tasting events in Oklahoma.
