Attention wine enthusiasts and community supporters! The annual Taste of the Vine benefit for Coastal Coalition for Children is planned for Sunday, October 21, and we’re excited to share that it’s in a new venue this year: The Clubhouse at Frederica Golf Club on St. Simons Island. Sample fine wines and heavy hors d’oeuvres, accompanied by music from popular local trio 3 of Us, in this splendid setting where each room is a treasure with grand interiors and impressive art.

The evening’s festivities take place from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. and will also include a 50/50 raffle and a silent auction with local, national, and international trips, restaurant and spa experiences and other items offered for bids. Individual tickets to attend the event are $75 per person, but there are also special limited availability expanded ticket opportunities as well. If you purchase a Taste of the Vine Patron ticket ($125 per person), in addition to the Taste of the Vine event ticket, you’ll receive a champagne cruise on Frederica Lake in one of the vintage handcrafted boats during a pre-event hour. A Friend of the Families package ($250 person) will get you a ticket to Taste of the Vine, plus a seat at an intimate chef’s dinner and cooking demonstration hosted by Keith Schroeder, the James Beard Award winning founder of High Road Craft Ice Cream. The Friends dinner will be followed by an adult ice cream social featuring High Road Craft Ice Cream. The Friends dinner and demo is planned for Saturday evening, November 3, at Golden Isles Olive Oil & Gourmet Market in Redfern Village on St. Simons Island.

You can delight in the knowledge that your attendance helps to create safe, stable and nurturing homes for babies, children, families, and grandfamilies in our own backyard. Taste of the Vine is the signature fundraiser for Coastal Coalition for Children and provides vital funding for the Grandparent Connection, Healthy Families, and First Steps programs. Coastal Coalition for Children is dedicated to the wellbeing of children in our community. Because they know that healthy childhoods begin at home, their mission is to “create safe, stable and nurturing homes” by teaching parents and custodial grandparents how to be better parents.

Please join Coastal Coalition for Children as they strive to create lasting change for generations to come. Their staff, board of directors, and the families that they serve are grateful for your participation and support, and gives special thanks to 2018 Presenting Sponsor King & Prince Seafood.
