Above: 2015's Uncorked Autumn Wine Tasting Gala

Leave the kids (and your worries) at home and uncork your inner oenophile at the 6th Annual Uncorked Autumn Wine Tasting Gala on Friday, October 14. Hosted by Gordy’s Market and Gordy’s Valley Spirits, the event will feature over 150 different wines, craft beers, and gourmet cheeses and other food from Wisconsin (and around the world). As you sip, swirl and swallow, you can peruse the live auction items, dance to the in-house entertainment, and enjoy raffle prizes.

The doors open at Hawthorne Aviation (formerly Heartland Aviation) from 6pm-9pm. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at any of the Gordy’s locations in and around the Valley or online through the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire’s website for $40. If purchased at the door, the cost will be $45. All proceeds from the event go to the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire.
