Wrigley Unveils Festivin: A Celebration of Flavor and Fun

From January 16 to 19, the Wrigley Mansion will once again host its celebrated Festivin, a unique blend of wine, food, and educational experiences, featuring adoptable puppies this year. This marks the fifth anniversary of the event, which includes four interactive wine dinners. Among the highlights is a wine pairing showdown where guests can vote for their favorites and an exclusive Krug tasting paired with a menu crafted by Chef Christopher Gross.

Attendees can participate in six interactive seminars led by advanced and master sommeliers, winemakers, and industry professionals. Additionally, Chef Nick Kennedy will showcase his culinary skills during a live cooking demonstration. The event will also feature an aperitivo hour, providing a lively atmosphere for guests to connect, and will culminate in a Grand Tasting event, allowing participants to explore over 150 wines alongside delightful bites prepared by Kennedy.

Curated by the mansion’s wine director, Jodi Bronchtein, wine samples from the event will be available for purchase. Moreover, attendees will have the chance to interact with and potentially adopt adorable puppies from Almost There: A Mom and Pup Rescue, with a portion of the event’s proceeds supporting the nonprofit organization.

Tickets for this 21-and-over event must be purchased in advance. For more details, visit www.wrigleymansion.com/festivin.
