Enjoy early entry for a walk-around tasting with more than 40 specialty vintners followed by premium seating for the live auction. Grand Cru tables will also receive priority choice of the vintner to join your table and share their wines. Small bites will be provided by some of our favorite Houston-based chefs. The more the merrier—show off your somm skills and bring your own special bottles to enjoy with your table!
You knew this was inevitable. We’re thrilled to introduce Decanted, the new wine-focused event from SSF that will take place for the first time this spring (April 20). If Southern Smoke Festival is where we flock to eat well and do good—and what prolific do-gooders we all have been—then Decanted is its natural pairing: your destination to drink well and do good. A way to pour something back into the F&B industry we know and love, with proceeds benefiting Southern Smoke Foundation.
High-spirited and lavishly fun, Decanted unites wine lovers with vintners from around the world, featuring more than 40 specially chosen wineries notable for their passion, excellence, and general delightfulness as people. After a vintners’ tasting reception, guests will make their winely way to a seated live auction, where tables will enjoy gourmet bites and individually guided pours from their selected winery. The more the merrier—show off your somm skills and bring your own bottles to share! Put your vintners and tablemates to the test. You’ll choose the vintner you’re seated with when you purchase your table.
We hope you’ll join us to raise awareness, raise resources, and raise your glass for a great reason: to help us take care of our own. This one’s not to be missed.
