From Jan. 16 to 19, the Wrigley Mansion will host its annual celebration of wine, food and education – and this year, adorable adoptable puppies.
Returning for its fifth year, Festivin will include four interactive wine dinners, including a wine pairing showdown where guests vote, chefs and sommeliers face-off; another will offer a Krug tasting paired with a menu curated by Chef Christopher Gross. Six interactive seminars offer the experience of diving deep with advanced and master sommeliers, winemakers and industry leaders. During a cooking demo, attendees can watch culinary magic with a live demonstration from Chef Nick Kennedy. During an aperitivo hour, guests will enjoy a vibrant cocktail hour with fellow attendees. And finally, the celebration concludes with the Grand Tasting event, which allows guests to sip their way through more than 150 wines, and savor plenty of bites created by Kennedy.
Curated by the property’s wine director, Jodi Bronchtein, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase the wines sampled during the event. In addition, guests will have the opportunity to cuddle (and adopt) adorable pups from Almost There: A Mom and Pup Rescue. A portion of the event proceeds will benefit the nonprofit.
Tickets must be purchased in advance for this 21 and over event. Visit www.wrigleymansion.com/festivin for details.
