Write a commentIt’s been a long year for everyone, but particularly for local businesses that have to not only survive but try to prosper enough to support their employees and their families.
Colloca Estate Winery was among several Cayuga County Business that were recognized this week by the Cayuga County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CCCVB) with their Perseverance Award recognizing the Winery’s investment in the craft beverage industry through the pandemic.
Chris and Mindy Colloca, owners of the winery, were particularly honored with the distinction. “We’re proud to receive this recognition for the hard work it took to get through this last year. But it’s really our team that deserves the award,” they said. “Their dedication and loyalty were the key to the perseverance it took to make it through these difficult times”.
Other award winners included: Prison City Brewing, Owasco Lake Brewing, Aurora Brewing, Lunkenheimer Brewing, and Quarry Ridge Winery.
Supporting local businesses is important for the CCCVB, as is reflected in the partners chosen for creation of the Perseverance Awards. Auburn Leatherworks was selected to make the award coaster from beautifully crafted leather, Nash’s Framing and Art framed the awards, and David Owens, a Cayuga County native, designed the award logo.
