Del Rioans are invited to join members of the International Good Neighbor Council (IGNC) Del Rio Chapter Friday for the 3rd Annual Wine & Cheese Tasting event.
The wine and cheese tasting will be held in the Enchanted Jardin event center, 4934 U.S. Highway 90.
Attendees must be 18 years of age or older and 21 years of age or older to sample wines. Event organizers said identification would be required and checked.
The doors will open at 6 p.m., and the event will begin at 6:30 p.m. and end at 10:30 p.m. Friday.
IGNC Del Rio President Andrew Scarbo said the group’s wine and cheese tasting is the local IGNC’s major annual fundraiser, with all proceeds going to scholarships awarded by the organization.
“Come and enjoy the great wines and food from Del Rio’s newest wine bar, SoJo Cellar. We will have a variety of wines from all over that you can sample, plus a cool charcuterie table with many different fine cheeses and meats to enjoy,” Scarbo told the 830 Times.
“We will also have a great choice of delicious appetizers from The Good Bar restaurant here in Del Rio, and Santa Maria, a cheese manufacturer from Mexico, will also be there so you can sample cheeses that are made in the local area,” Scarbo added.
He noted live music would be provided by Juan “The Saxx Man” Nañez and Angel Baena.
Tickets are $30 and are available from IGNC members or at the door.
“Each ticket will allow you entrance into the event to enjoy unlimited wine samples while supplies last, as well as the food and entertainment,” Scarbo said.
Individuals and businesses are also encouraged to purchase a sponsorship table with 10 seats for $500. Purchasers of sponsorship tables will have guaranteed seating, with the added perk of being able to advertise their business or organization, Scarbo said.
