Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA (1888PressRelease) July 29, 2013 - Attimo Winery, LLC and the Montgomery County Chamber Foundation and the Montgomery County Regional Tourism Office (Virginia) announces an attempt to break two records: The Longest Toast Relay, and, the "Most Bottles of Wine Uncorked Simultaneously". Labeled as "Salute Vantaggio," this history-making event will take place Saturday, 28 September 2013, in the heart of the New River Valley at Attimo Winery.

The current record for the longest toast relay consists of 886 participants and was organized by Tsubamesanjo Junior Chamber Incorporated (Japan) at Tsubamesanjo station, in Sanjo, Niigata, Japan, on 10 November 2012. The most people uncorking wine simultaneously (within 30 seconds) is 474 achieved by WineFest No. 18: A Toast to Children's Health (USA) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA on 10 May 2013.

Salute Vantaggio was created by Attimo Winery with support from the Montgomery County Chamber Foundation and the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. Profits of the event will contribute to a playground and outdoor community area at Auburn Elementary.

Catherine Sutton, Executive Director of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce said "whether you are in Montgomery County for a day, a week, or the rest of your life, you will find interesting things to do that will suit your personal interests. Attimo Winery has planned an event that showcases our community as a fun and inviting area. As the winner of Small Business of the year in 2012 for the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, this business will be giving back to the community by helping Auburn Elementary School. Attimo exemplifies our tagline of "Connect, Engage, and Prosper". We hope you can join us, Salute."
