To round out the afternoon, enjoy live entertainment and a selection of cuisine available for purchase. Cocktails and wine will also be available for purchase.


THURSDAY, MARCH 19: UNCORKED

6:30 - 8:30 PM | The Sonesta Resort

Tickets: $35 - Bring a Bottle to Share


This joyous kick-off event will “uncork” our 2026 festival with sips and snacks among friends! This event is our "riff" on the famous Open That Bottle Night. So it is about opening and sharing wines that bring back memories with old friends and making new friends who enjoy wine.

What makes a good wine selection? It is not just about price! It is more about the memories. It could be a vintage (the year we met), about a location (we had a fabulous vacation in ____ and found this wine), an event (we shared this wine on our first date) or it could even be a new find (we love this wine/vineyard we just found and want everyone to know about it).
What makes a wine truly special is not what you drank, but who you drank it with. So bring your favorite bottle to share with old and new friends we celebrate the festival officially beginning.
