Wines for golden hour into midsummer night

Celebrate the height of summer with a warm, glowing tasting inspired by sun-kissed days and lingering midsummer evenings. This guided experience features a curated selection of clean, pure, and sustainably crafted wines, refreshing and expressive, designed to be enjoyed as the sun sets and the evening unfolds.

From sparkling pours and crisp whites to vibrant rosé and perfectly chillable reds, each wine reflects the brightness, balance, and effortless elegance of the season. Set in a relaxed golden hour atmosphere, guests will enjoy a tasting meant to be savored slowly as the sun sets and the evening unfolds into soft moonlight, where light, warmth, and beautifully crafted wines come together.

The tasting will include tasting materials and light bites to enjoy alongside the wines. Wines presented and provided by Oakwood Vines, Lake Forest, IL.
