Join us for an unforgettable afternoon celebrating fine wine, exquisite glassware, and meaningful impact. This year’s luncheon offers guests a rare opportunity to experience the acclaimed RIEDEL Performance series—a collection of varietal-specific stemware designed to elevate aroma, flavor, and enjoyment.
Guided by RIEDEL experts, guests will explore a curated selection of high-end wines chosen to highlight each wine’s unique character. Through this exclusive tasting, you’ll discover how the shape of each glass transforms the wine’s bouquet and flavor profile.
To commemorate the experience, every attendee will take home a four-glass RIEDEL Performance set—a gift valued at $198, crafted to enhance wine appreciation for years to come.
Funds raised benefit Destination Hope and the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University. We would be honored for you to attend and share in our mission of curing pediatric brain cancer and bringing brighter futures to children and families facing the unimaginable.
This event is a wonderful way to share charitable work and fellowship with colleagues and friends. We encourage table sponsorships to prioritize the experience for group participants.
Step into the beautiful Cotton Room, greeted with champagne and passed hors d’oeuvres. Guests will check-in, receive their place card, and peruse the remarkable silent auction.
