Join Destination Hope and the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke for an unforgettable afternoon of premium wine, elevated cuisine, and powerful stories of hope. Three Vines is a reception‑style wine festival designed to bring our community together in support of children and families facing pediatric brain cancer.
Three Vines is a curated wine‑tasting experience featuring premium wine stations, each offering different varietals selected by our winery partners. Guests explore the stations at their own pace using a self‑guided wine passport, enjoy elevated buffet‑style lunch offerings, and connect with our mission through patient stories and family experiences throughout the afternoon.
This event is presented in collaboration with Raines’ Army, joining together to provide HOPE for families facing pediatric brain tumors and support life‑changing research at Duke.
Our open‑format event is designed for conversation, networking and discovery — blending exceptional wine with meaningful moments that highlight the incredible strength of pediatric brain tumor patients and the impact of Destination Hope.
Explore our tasting stations featuring premium wines curated by our partners. Each guest receives a tasting glass and wine passport to guide their experience.
Enjoy chef‑crafted small plates, seasonal bites, and light lunch offerings designed to complement the tasting experience.
Live acoustic music performed by pediatric patient musicians — a signature element of Three Vines — with brief, heartfelt stories from families who have navigated a pediatric brain tumor diagnosis.
The Three Vines Wine Event unfolds over a relaxed two‑hour window of sampling, critiquing, and enjoying each other’s company. Guests move freely throughout the space, visiting each wine station at their own pace and engaging with mission moments woven naturally into the afternoon.
Cocktail tables and small seating areas will be available throughout the venue, creating a comfortable environment for conversation and connection. Mission moments will take place at 1:00 PM, 1:30 PM, and 2:00 PM, offering brief opportunities to pause, listen, and reflect on the impact your support makes.
Three Vines offers two categories of sponsorship: Wine & Experience Partners who help shape the tasting experience, and Signature Event Sponsors who support the mission and attend the event.
