Wine, Dinner, Auction & Concert
Our goal is to develop the leaders of the future. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
It was an unforgettable evening of food and wine as we celebrate the success of Dream Big Darling, a local nonprofit aimed at mentoring and developing the next generation of leaders in the wine and spirits industry. An incredible assortment of wines and cocktails were paired with a 5 course meal, prepared by local Chef Jeffery Scott. The evening included a live auction and performance by vocalists Hilary and Kate.
