In this high-energy episode of Grapes & Debates, SoNapa Grille founder Adam Barringer is joined by business partner Joe Bates as they host the 4th Annual SoNapa Happy Hour 5K Run in Ormond Beach, Florida! 🏃‍♂️🍷

This special race-day episode brings the excitement of community, hospitality, and wine together. The hosts sit down with a lineup of guests — including Jeep Beach representatives, the Mayor of New Smyrna Beach, and local partners — as they celebrate fitness, fun, and food culture.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Grapes & Debates without wine! 🍇 Adam and Joe sample a stellar lineup from world-class producers:

Foley Family Wines 🍷

Caymus Vineyards 🍇

Winebow Imports 🌍

Together, they highlight each wine’s unique style while discussing how events like the Happy Hour 5K build stronger community connections and showcase SoNapa Grille’s mission: Taste – Toast – Together.

The episode closes with a debate true to the Grapes & Debates spirit: How do wine, wellness, and community events intersect — and can they change the way people experience hospitality?
