Do you hear that? Sinfonia Gulf Coast is again making “sound” waves as it continues to redefine the symphony experience with the launch of an exciting new fundraising endeavor called Crescendo!, a cultural and culinary extravaganza.
This spirited inaugural event is set for Friday, Feb. 16 and Sunday, Feb. 18.
On Friday, Feb. 16 at 6 p.m. Crescendo! (formerly Wine Women & Shoes) will begin with a series of carefully curated Vintner Dinners hosted in elegant homes and venues throughout the Emerald Coast, which pair the talents of local and regional “celebrity” chefs with some of the country’s most acclaimed vineyards for a delicious evening of food and wine. Among the participating vintners are Mario Perelli Minetti, Aloft by Mondavi, Blackbird Vineyards, Calluna Vineyards, Charles Krug Winery, Dunstan Wines, Sanglier Cellars and Tournesol. Vintner Dinner tickets are $275 per person and include all food, wine and gratuities. Go to sinfoniagulfcoast.org for a list of the Vintner Dinner venues.
