The Environmental Nature Center in Newport Beach and Hi-Time Wine Cellars invite you to an unforgettable afternoon of wine tasting from premium wine brands on Sunday, September 27, from 4 to 7 p.m. in support of local environmental education.
Guests will stroll along the ENC’s scenic trails, stopping at tasting stations to enjoy selections from more than two dozen exceptional wineries, including Precept, Wente, Avaline, Prestige Wine Imports, Native Hands, and more. Small bites will be served throughout the walk, and live music by SideNote Keys/Bass will add ambiance near the stream.
Finish your walk by the firepit with dessert and a cup of Kean Coffee, and don’t forget to browse the online silent auction, running September 22-27, featuring unique experiences, local goods, and more. Proceeds from the Wine Walk and auction directly benefit the ENC’s environmental education programs for children and families.
Tickets are $115 per person and include all tastings, bites, and entertainment. Wines poured at the event will be available for purchase through Hi-Time Wine Cellars. Pickup is available after the event at their Costa Mesa store.
Tickets are limited; this event is expected to sell out. Reserve your spot today at encenter.org
