Vine & Table Extravaganza!
Once a year our spirits store, Vine & Table, hosts their Holiday Extravaganza! This signature shopping night allows attendees to taste hundreds of wines, spirits, beers and cocktails while enjoying fabulous hors d’oeuvres from Kahn’s Catering.
In another sold-out year Vine & Table welcomed more than 350 guests. Many of whom said this was something they had been looking forward to just so they could kick off their holiday season. The event featured an east and west tent outside of the main entrance of the store, extending the space to house the ample menu. The store itself was dressed to the nines in its holiday finest, featuring gift baskets, tasting stations, and several holiday hosting items perfect as a gift for others or for ones self.
