Wining and dining in support of education
The WiSH Education Foundation is hosting an event next month at the Valencia mall, where people are invited to enjoy some of their favorite wines in support of local education.
A chance to “Wine on the Roof... Dine on the Roof” of the Macy’s parking garage is available with local-only offerings, according to the event’s organizers, Eve Bushman of Eve’s Wine 101 and Marlee Lauffer, president of the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Foundation.
From 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, the WiSH Foundation is teaming with folks like winemaker Steve Lemley, co-owner of SCV Custom Crush Services, who will curate wines from his local facility that houses more than 20 unique wineries — most making their debut that evening, according to event organizers.
A few of the Santa Clarita winemakers currently signed on include: Steve Lemley, Nate Hasper, Mark Blatty, Scott PagePagter, Doug Minnick, Ted Behlendorf and Dan Erland Andersen.
The event is also inviting winemakers to join in for “interesting and knowledgeable discourse,” about the wines and their potential pairings for the wines.
“Wine on the Roof has a distinctive layout to allow for camaraderie and conversation and you will be treated to a multi-course dinner,” according to a WiSH Foundation news release.
There will also be bread from the Speakeasy Bakery and appetizers served.
There is a limited number of tickets available, because the event includes seated dining, officials said.
Early ticket pricing is set at $125 per person or two for $200, and after April 15, ticket pricing will be $150 per person or two for $275.
