Join us for a delightful evening of experiencing wine and cheese in a new way at a private home on the shore of Arlington's hidden gem, the Upper Mystic Lake.
We start off with light hors d'oeuvres. Then each guest will have the opportunity to sample each of a distinctive quintet of wine and cheese pairings selected by our sommelier, Darrell Villaruz, and our cheese monger, David Raposo. Darrell personally introduces and pours each wine, and David invites guests to savor the paired cheese before trying wine and cheese together: a beautiful duet.
We will also offer several opportunities to participate in a raffle for curated baskets of wine and other offerings, including selections from the tasting. (Raffle tickets are 2 for $25 with discounts for larger purchases).
Early arriving guests are welcome to take a kayak for a spin around the lake or enjoy a leisurely swim.
