From the minute you walk through the private entrance to the Old World vineyard artfully created in the heart of downtown Knoxville for just one night, you’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special. After collecting your souvenir Riedel wine glass, you’ll embark on a wine-tasting journey. Seven local distributors plus a select few importers will pour everything from crisp white to lovely rosés to bold reds and discuss the latest trends in the wine industry and the fine art of wine-making. Holly’s Eventful Dining has designed a Mediterranean repast as pleasing to the eye as to the palate with a menu that weds Old World beauty with fanciful touches. Lisa King and Elizabeth King of GAC’s “Farm Kings” will be special guests. Violinist Al Columbo will be on hand providing music to sip to. The jazzy sounds of Frog & Toad’s Dixie Stomp will punctuate this magical evening in the vineyard. Support the Dogwood Arts Festival with your attendance. It’ll be a night to remember and a party you don’t want to miss!
