The Bascom: A Center for the Visual Arts in Highlands is bringing Collective Spirits back to May this year, May 17 and 18.
This fundraising event features in-home private wine dinners, a grand tasting and wine market, and lots of excitement. Collective Spirits will once again highlight world-class winemaking talent with principals and winemakers from notable brands such as Nellcote, Frank Family, Terra Valentine, and Laurent-Perrier.
The in-home wine dinners are the most beloved part of the Collective Spirits weekend. Ten prestigious homes in the Highlands and Cashiers areas will open their doors to 20 guests for an evening of fine dining and excellent wine. Each home features a guest vintner alongside a notable chef from around the Southeast. Ticket holders will enjoy an evening of camaraderie in luxurious mountain home settings with gracious and entertaining hosts. Enhancing the evening will be the knowledge that their participation helps support The Bascom.
Friday night, May 18, offers guests an informal grand tasting experience with more than 100 wines and heavy hors d’oeuvres on The Terrace at The Bascom as well as the Collective Spirits Wine Market. Collective Spirits is the only event of its caliber in the Highlands and Cashiers area. Guests have the chance to engage on an intimate level with chefs and winemakers while supporting the mission of The Bascom.
This annual fundraiser supports The Bascom through the dollars raised during the event. That money is used to further their mission statement: Believing that creative expression transforms our lives. The Bascom is committed to providing life enriching experiences through diverse exhibitions; comprehensive arts education and public programs; support for regional artists; and strategic partnerships facilitating cultural and economic development in the Highlands and Cashiers communities.
