May Wine Events

Sip Away May

It’s about time. We can finally emerge from hibernation, don the flip flops and head to a weekend outdoor wine event. And this month there are boatloads of them taking place all across the country.
Of course, we’re biased in our thinking that the one can’t-miss event of May is Around the World in 80 Sips™ Chicago. If you’re keen to join us at the Museum of Contemporary Art for the fifth year running, click here to buy your tickets now–they’re disappearing quickly.
