GRAND CRU |
Saturday, July 18
Cork & Barrel's gala event features wine tasting, dinner and a live auction.
Grand Cru is the star of Cork & Barrel Weekend, where the community comes together to "wine, dine and make a difference." The gala starts with a Winemakers' Reception, where a dozen guest wineries pour tastes, and Bend restaurants Zydeco and Stacks Dinner & Delicatessen pass hors d'oeuvres against a backdrop of live jazz.
The evening continues with a four-course dinner prepared by Chef Franco Console of Neuman Hotel Group. And yes, there's wine with each course, with the option for beer pairings.
As the Live Auction kicks off, guests can bid on trips to Crete and Portugal or 80+ vintages in the Wall of Wine. If you get outbid, you can still support a good cause. Everyone can take part in the paddle raise, raffle drawings and silent auction. Tickets: $200
