Collective Spirits Wine and Food Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary.  

Be sure to Save-The-Date the weekend of May 19–21 for a fabulous fundraising festival benefitting The Bascom’s free programming and subsidized classes.  It’s the art center’s biggest fundraiser of the year and certainly the most tantalizing for your tastebuds.

The Private Wine Dinners on Thursday, May 19, feature in-home winemaker dining with award-winning chefs from around the Southeast dishing up their extraordinary cuisines.  The bill of fare will be coupled with exceptional wines from around the world decanted and served by the winemakers themselves.

Friday evening, May 20, enjoy Stock Your Cellar Wine Tasting & Market at The Bascom. Mingle and sample some of the 100 wines presented in a walk-around tasting on The Bascom’s Terrace.

Wrapping up the weekend on Saturday, May 21, is the Grand Gala Benefit Dinner and Live Auction hosted at The Farm at Old Edwards Inn.  The evening promises luxury at every turn. Start with scrumptious waiter-served hors d’oeuvres followed by a mouth-watering feast passionately prepared by five-star chefs from Old Edwards Inn and Spa.  Gifted auctioneer Greg Quiroga will start the bidding with rare and collectible bottles of wine, unique excursions, and delightful encounters with visiting winemakers.
