Collective Spirits wine festival, May 29-30
Featured activities of the wine festival include grand wine tastings, silent auction, fare by local chefs, a symposium led by leading U.S. wine specialists, all capped off by a gala seated dinner on The Bascom’s new terrace, followed by a live auction of exceptional wines and special wine-related items.
All proceeds benefit The Bascom, a nonprofit visual art center.
“Highlands has the highest ratio of Wine Spectator Awards per number of restaurants than any other location,” said Donna Woods, The Bascom’s events director. “The 2009 Collective Spirits further establishes Highlands as a wine destination, and the fact that the event will be held at The Bascom’s spectacular new facility is a special bonus. It will be an amazing weekend.”
The presenting sponsor of the event is Bank of New York-Mellon. Other corporate sponsors are Harry Norman Realtors/Pat Allen and Bert Mobley, brokers; Highlands Wine & Cheese Shop; and The Laurel magazine. Highlands Wine & Cheese Shop is the official wine retailer of the event.
Tickets are $100 for the Friday Evening Wine Tasting, $225 for the Saturday Evening Wine Gala and $295 for a combination Friday-Saturday ticket.
