The Wrigley Mansion will host the sixth annual Festivin, a four-day festival of wine, food, and education, Jan. 15-18.
Returning to the historic hilltop estate, the multi-day event will feature four distinct wine dinners, interactive seminars, a chef’s cooking demonstration, and the signature Grand Tasting, showcasing more than 150 exceptional wines alongside chef-driven cuisine. A portion of proceeds will once again benefit Almost There: A Mom and Pup Rescue, with adoptable puppies on site during the Grand Tasting.
Launched in 2019, Festivin has evolved from a boutique gathering into a wine event that draws enthusiasts, collectors and industry professionals from across the state and beyond, organizers said. Guided by owner Jamie Hormel’s vision, the event creates a setting where chefs, winemakers and sommeliers come together to educate, entertain and inspire guests in an intimate, approachable environment.
“Festivin has become a playground for curious wine lovers,” said Jason Caballero, advanced sommelier and CEO of Wrigley Mansion. “In 2026 we’re building on everything guests already love – great wine, incredible food and genuine hospitality – while adding new seminars and dinners that make wine feel both world-class and wonderfully fun.”
Event highlights include Unplugged & Uncorked Dinner & Dancing at Geordie’s and Dom Pérignon Dinner at Christopher’s, Thursday, Jan. 15; Collaboration on the Knoll Dinner at Geordie’s, Friday, Jan. 16; Battle on the Hill Dinner and afternoon seminars, Saturday, Jan. 17.
The event culminates with The Grand Tasting, Sunday, Jan. 18, from noon to 4 p.m. Featuring more than 150 wines, many rarely poured for the public, this walk-around experience invites guests to explore exceptional bottles across regions and styles – all available for purchase. Chef Nick Kennedy and the Wrigley Mansion culinary team will offer elevated bites, including caviar tastes, throughout the afternoon. Guests will also enjoy the opportunity to meet and snuggle adoptable puppies from Almost There.
