Grape stompers and roaming musicians will transport guests to wine country at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at Wildwood Park for the Arts’ annual Wine & Food Festival. Guests will enjoy 170 specially selected wines, tastings of Rock Town Distillery’s vodka and gin, and artful edibles created by some of the area’s finest chefs and restaurants including Lulav, Acadia, Capriccio Grill Italian Steakhouse, 1620 and Ferneau.
A silent auction and a cork pull will add to the festivities.
Music will be the eastern European-influenced folk melodies of the Meshuggar Klezmer Band, classical guitar by Michael Carenbauer and lively polkas from the Itinerant Locals.
Tickets are $75 each. Discounts are available for Arkansas Repertory Theatre subscribers and those who purchased tickets to the Rep’s production of Evita. To purchase call (501) 821-7275 or click here.
