Join the Friends of Public Radio AZ in celebration of the First Press Grand Tasting and First Press Wine Auction Oct. 29-30, held each fall to celebrate all things vino!

The Grand Tasting will be held on Friday at The Musical Instrument Museum from 6 to 10 p.m. With over 30 vintners in attendance, there is sure to be something for all to sample and enjoy. Don’t pass up watching the fourth-annual Food Fight chef competition as well. General admission tickets are $65, and VIP tickets are $125.

The First Press Wine Auction event on Saturday is a spectacular event–great food and wonderful wine parings from 6 p.m. to midnight, in the beautiful Westin Kireland Resort and Spa. Each table has it’s own vintner who sits at the table with your guests to mix and mingle and educate them about wine! When the evening is over there is a great band so it is really quite fun for those who attend! Individual tickets are $250.
