Friday GIVEAWAY!: Chicago Date Ideas

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone!

It has been a long and cold week for us Chicagoans and 5:00 is slowly approaching. So now that summer time Chi is officially here, I am very excited to share with you that a fabulous wine tasting event is coming back to Chicago this summer, Friday, June 17th. And boy oh boy does it look amazing!

Named The Wine Enthusiast Toast of the Town, this gala event will be hosted at The Field Museum with over 500 pours of wine and gourmet dishes from 35 of Chicago’s top restuarants. Talk about raising the bar…
Some of the attendess include The Signature Room, Sixteen (in the Trump Tower), Wildfire, SushiSamba and many more.

 

Topped off with live jazz music, this is more than just a wine tasting…it is an experience. And an experience you do not want to miss!

Think of it as an extremely nice dinner out, with all you can drink incredible wine. I would say that is worth it!

Tickets are $109 per person (from 7:00 – 10:00 PM) and VIP tickets (from 6:00 – 10:00 PM, which includes access to limited production, reserve wines, and a better opportunity for one on one time with wine makers and restaurateurs while the venue is a little quieter) are $169 per person. Lets be honest, that is quite the bargain for Chicago.

So now for the good part! The Wine Enthusiast Toast of the Town has graciously offered two complimentary tickets ($218 in value) for the Chicago gala to one lucky reader. For a chance to win, all you have to do is check out the website by clicking here and leave some sort of comment (can be anything!) below. The winner will be selected at random and announced next Friday, June 3rd.
So kick off the summer to something incredible and take this opportunity to learn more about wine, food and best of all, to have a great time! To see who will be pouring and additional attending Chicago restuarants, be sure to check out the website.
Happy Memorial Day weekend Chicago!
