Grapes & Hops: A Celebration
of Wine and Beer

Wednesdays: June 9 & 23, July 14 & 28,

During Grapes & Hops, taste fine wines and brews amid the summer bounty of the Regenstein Fruit & Vegetable Garden.

Complimentary light fare (cheese, crackers, vegetable crudités and dips) will be provided.

Take the trolley to Grapes & Hops.
