Festivin 2023 at the Wrigley Mansion
Champagne on the terrace of Christopher’s at Wrigley Mansion
On May 18-21, Wrigley Mansion hosted Festivin, their highly-anticipated four-day wine festival celebrating food and wine education with exclusive wine dinners, seminars, and cooking demonstrations, a Saturday night Grand Tasting, and a Sparkling Sunday brunch. A portion of the proceeds supported Almost There: A Mom and Pup Rescue.
We were invited to attend some of the special events. Here’s a photo recap (and a video reel) of all the fun we had. Next year’s event will take place in February.
