Opera Theatre of Saint Louis presents its annual Wine & Beer Tasting on Friday, February 6, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Sally S. Levy Opera Center. The best and brightest of St. Louis’s young professional set will gather in the Opera Center’s unique rehearsal halls for exquisite wines, extraordinary brews, an impressive array of hors d’oeuvres, and an enticing silent auction.
The evening will feature fine wines from St. Louis area restaurants including Big Sky Café, Café Napoli, Calistoga Cellars, Niche Restaurant, Robust Wine Bar/Shoppe and Villa Farotto. Grey Eagle will provide tasty brews and The Saint Louis Originals (Hospitality Sponsor) will present hors d’oeuvres from Bryan Young Catering Plus, Companion Bake Shops, Eleven Eleven Mississippi, LoRusso’s Cucina, Serendipity Homemade Ice Cream, SqWires & Soda Fountain Square, and Vin de Set. Guests will have the chance to bid on silent auction items that include rare vintages, wine and beer-related gifts, exclusive fine dining packages, jewelry and more. Even guests who don’t win an auction item can take home a prize: the grab bag offers guests a chance to select a wrapped bottle of wine for $20. Some lucky guests could be surprised with a bottle worth $100!
