Once again, the Keeney Center will come alive with the flavors and aromas of the area’s finest food and drink. Past participants have included Ascot, Café Louise, The Charles, Wood ‘n’ Tap, Carbone’s Prime, and many other local favorites.
iHeartMedia’s Renee DiNino, a Wethersfield native noted for her stellar hosting skills at the society’s Witch of Blackbird Pond Ball, has generously agreed to emcee this year’s “Taste”. She’ll be bringing along her “Alex and Renee Eat Connecticut” co-host, the Nacho King of Connecticut, Alex P. Taylor to keep the festivities rolling all evening long.
Ross Tucker and the Hot Cat Jazz Band have already been engaged to provide the evening’s musical entertainment. The process of “Taste” remains the same: Attendees pay one admission and can try offerings from several local restaurants, caterers, breweries, and wine vendors, all under one roof. Samples of signature dishes and beverages are available at every station. Throughout the evening, a silent auction is conducted, offering guests the opportunity to bid on unique goods and services from local vendors.
“Taste” is a party for those 21 and over only.
Pricing: General Admission $35 (online $39.19). Purchased on the day of the event, the price jumps to $40 (online $44.52). A “Patron” ticket entitles the bearer to early admission (6:00 pm) with full access to all food and drink, as well as entry in an exclusive Patron drawing. ($35 of each “Patron” ticket purchased is tax deductible). Patron: $75 (online $81.88).
Tickets are available online at EventBrite HERE or in person at Wethersfield Historical Society.
