The University of Arizona College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Arizona Wine Growers Association are holding the “Arizona’s Bounty: A Food and Wine Evening” event from 6 – 9 p.m. on Friday, April 12.
At the fundraiser, they’ll be offering tastings of more than 30 wines from 20 Arizona Wine Growers Association members, and some craft beer brought to you by Public Brewhouse.
University of Arizona’s Executive Chef Michael Omo is paring up your glasses of wine with tapas-style bites made from locally sourced ingredients. Plus, by the end of the night, you’ll go home with a custom-etched 16-ounce crystal wine glass.
Aside from all of the sipping and eating, you’ll be able to meet Arizona winemakers while soaking in the live music by award-winning guitarist Eduardo Minozzi Costa.
Early Bird Tickets are $95 per person if you reserve your spot before Friday, March 22. After that, the tickets will be $105 each.
