You are invited to Vine & Dine -- a "grape escape" featuring the culinary genius of Sara Bradley, award-winning chef and owner of freight house!

SIP: Explore one of the most renowned regions in the wine world through the characteristics of the different grapes and wines that define Bordeaux -- from the sérmillon and sauvignon blanc to the five noble Bordeaux red grapes - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec - discover the palette of grapes that defines Bordeaux and forever revolutionized the world of wine.

SAVOUR: The theme of this year's Vine & Dine event showcases the diverse grape varieties that thrive in Bourdeaux and the exceptional wines produced in this renowned region. Guests are invited to embark on a guided tasting journey across The Carson Center stage, participating in a culinary event designed to enhance their appreciation for grapes, the wines we savour, and the foods we pair with them.

Each tasting station offers a distinctive food and wine pairing experience, meticulously curated based on the varieties, colors, origins, and the flavors of the grapes. Chef Sara Bradley, celebrity chef and owner of freight house, finalist on Top Chef Season 16 and Top Chef: World All Stars, and James Beard Award nominee, will once again wow guests with thoughtfully crafted dishes featuring locally sourced ingredients. Each course will be perfectly paired with premium wines selected by our wine partner, Wagner Wine and Spirits.

SUPPORT: Sip, savour, support, and celebrate while supporting a meaningful cause. All proceeds benefit The Carson Center, support our mission, and promote the arts in our region through the Fred Paxton Challenge for Charities.
