TYBEE WINE FESTIVAL 2015
welcome Welcome to the 7th annual Tybee Wine Festival presented by the Tybee Post Theater. The Tybee Wine Festival is the signature fundraising event for the nonprofit Tybee Post Theater. When reopened this summer, the historic Post Theater will be an integral part of our community – enhancing our cultural experience, encouraging and attracting visitors, and improving our quality of life. When the curtain is raised, the Theater will seat approximately 240 and provide a much-needed performing arts and community venue for the island and its visitors. The Theater will screen first-run, classic and children’s movies, as well as stage plays, music, dance, comedy, storytelling and educational programming for children. It will be available for rental for private events and will be open for community meetings and conferences. The Tybee Post Theater truly will be Tybee Island’s civic center. If you would like more information about becoming a member or a volunteer, please stop by the Friends of the Tybee Theater table at the Grand Wine Tasting, visit www.tybeeposttheater.org, or call 912.663.1099.

the art of pairing Thursday, April 23 | 7-9 pm Tybee Island Social Club 1311 Butler Avenue | Tybee Island The Art of Pairing is an intimate five-course wine-tasting dinner that pairs the perfect wines with each course, from appetizers through dessert. Kurtis Schumm, the talented co-owner and chef of the Tybee Island Social Club, plans and prepares the dinner. All of the wines are imported by Vintage 59 and come from the Languedoc region of France. Chateau Coupe Roses winemaker Françoise Le Calvez herself will be on hand to present her fine French wines and sommelier Debra Lewis will guide guests through the courses as she explains the dynamics of each culinary and wine selection. It’s a wonderfully intimate evening of fine wining and dining at this wildly popular Tybee restaurant.
