Blend hosts Halloween-themed wine dinner next week
Blend will host a Halloween dinner featuring music from the V-Tones Oct. 29, 6 p.m.-9 p.m.
The Halloween wine dinner will work differently than normal Blend wine dinners, general manager Andy Blouin says.
Specialty cocktails using spiced and coconuts rums will be served 6 p.m.- 7 p.m. Beginning at 7 p.m., four wine stations will serve samples of pairings for passed hors d’oeuvres.
Attendees are encouraged to dress up in Halloween costumes. The event will be less formal than usual and will work almost as an “adult trick-or-treat,” Blouin says.
Tickets are $75 per person. Buy tickets and make reservations by calling 757-5645 or emailing [email protected].
