This exciting marché style event is moving to Carmen’s Banquet Hall, 1520 Stone Church Road East and and will offer guests an evening of fine Ontario wines and tasty food specialties. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
Thirty-three restaurants, food specialty stores and Ontario wineries, all of whom donate their time and product to benefit the Society, will participate in this year’s gala. The 500 anticipated guests will be able to select from a list of more than 32 wines, and sample delicious and unique dishes from local restaurant establishments, all while listening to the sounds of the John Sherwood Trio.
