Raising Hope: A Tasting Event 2020

Set within the Duncan McClellan Gallery located in St. Petersburg's thriving Warehouse Arts District, the Raising Hope Tasting Event will feature wine and craft beer tasting stations with food pairings. Guests can enjoy their wine and/or beer pairings as they stroll throughout the gallery or enjoy the outdoor setting and the stunning art glass work that adorns the gardens. Proceeds benefit community-based Learning Empowered f/k/a UMCM Suncoast and its mission to alleviate the symptoms and address the causes of poverty in Tampa Bay through innovation educational programs.

Event includes live music in the garden, Silent Auction and Wine Pull. You also have the chance to participate in our Cupcakes and Cabernet Decorating & Wine Pairing Contest.

If you're one of the first 25 individuals to buy tickets to the event, you'll be getting an awesome bonus; an exclusive wine tasting party, featuring wines from Bending Branch Winery. You'll learn about the emerging grape varietals in Texas, and get to sample the 2016 Mourvedre and nonvintage Souzão.
