For those ready to celebrate the coming of spring, the Kiwanis Club of La Cañada is holding “A Virtual Wine Tasting Event” on Thursday, March 11 beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $60 per person or two tickets for $100, and will boast six delicious wine selections by ONEHOPE wines, including delectable cheese and charcuterie especially curated by La Cañada Cheese Shop. The event is the Club’s major fundraiser geared to help the Kiwanis mission of helping local kids and the community.
“We encourage wine enthusiasts to enjoy an evening of great wine and cheese pairings for a great cause, while getting to know your neighbors a little better,” said Kiwanis Club of La Cañada Fundraising Task Force member Keith Eich. “When our newly established six-member Fundraising Task Force brainstormed, we were inspired by our annual wine tasting tradition, and the virtual social event was created. We hope folks will join us and lend their support as we raise funds to make a difference in our area.” Eich is also chair of the event.
For social distancing, ticketholders will be able to pick up their wine and cheese selections at DISH Restaurant, which has generously offered their convenient drive-thru located at 734 Foothill Blvd., La Cañada Flintridge from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the day of the event. The wine and cheese will be placed in either the back seat or trunk of the vehicle; mask and glove guidelines will be followed.
To date, the major sponsors include State Farm – Barbara Marshall, Realtor Terry Piasky, Nasa Services, Stella’s Pizza Kitchen, Dish Restaurant, and La Cañada Shell Station at 4530 Angeles Crest Hwy, LCF. ONEHOPE wines will also graciously give back a percentage of any wine sold to event ticketholders, in effect through April 2.
