About this event
Gather & Give Thanks: A Harvest Wine Tasting Thoughtfully crafted wines and pairings for the Thanksgiving table Celebrate the warmth and abundance of the harvest season with a guided tasting featuring small-production, sustainably crafted wines selected for autumn gatherings and the Thanksgiving table. Guests will explore a versatile collection of sparkling wines, food-friendly whites, and expressive reds from small independent winemakers committed to sustainable, organic, or biodynamic farming and thoughtful winemaking practices. Each wine will be selected to complement seasonal favorites, from appetizers and roasted vegetables to turkey, savory side dishes, and desserts. Along the way, discover how acidity, body, fruit, and texture can help create thoughtful Thanksgiving pairings. Whether you are hosting, bringing a bottle, or gathering with friends, this experience will offer approachable inspiration for the season. The tasting will include tasting materials and small bites. Wines presented and provided by Oakwood Vines, Lake Forest, IL.
