Join us every first Friday of the month to sample some wine for a great cause!
When: Every first Friday of each month
Time: 5:30 until 8:00 PM
Admission: $20 cash or check donation to the host charity
Do I need to RSVP?
Nope! Our First Friday Wine Tastings are open house format. Come as you are anytime during the event hours and taste at your leisure. We do recommend arriving by 7:00 in order to enjoy the tasting without feeling rushed.
What kind of wine will be sampled?
We offer a new lineup each month, but we always strive for a balanced variety of red and white, sweet and dry, and price point. Every wine sampled is stocked in house, so if you find something you enjoy you can take home a bottle with you that night! Discounts available on quantity purchases.
Can I use an Artale gift certificate for a First Friday Wine Tasting?
Because the admission goes straight to the host charity only cash or check is accepted.
