Featured Vintners include Cakebread Cellars, Montes Wines, Bloomers Frose, Champagne Tattinger, Blue Ridge Wine and Spirits and more from around the world.

While guests peruse the offerings available throughout the evening, they can also watch famed painter Thomas Arvid as he completes a wine-themed work of art live.

The evening will also feature a silent auction, pop-up shops, luxury items from select vendors, complimentary makeup applications from Bloomingdale’s Red Carpet Cosmetic Touch-Up Station and more.

The Boca Bacchanal event supports the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum each year with donations of the proceeds of the event. These donations fund education programs for children and adults, which are currently serving over 1200 schoolchildren locally.
