Be sure not to miss one of Wisconsin’s best wine events. Featuring tastings and samplings from over 35 vineyards and 20 regional restaurants, the Food & Wine Tasting Gala will satisfy your cravings while allowing you to rub elbows with many industry experts. The Tasting Gala also features a spectacular European market display, compliments of Nehring’s Family Markets, and an exclusive auction.

The Food & Wine Tasting Gala is from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. at the Pfister Hotel. Admission is limited. Please make your reservations early. Tickets are $95 per person, or $100 at the door.

The attire for the Food & Wine Tasting Gala is casual chic.
