A Night to Remember: The Grape Escapes Event Turns 25
The annual Grape Escapes event has become a signature evening for wine lovers and community supporters across the River Valley.
Raise your glass and your expectations, Grape Escapes is back, and this year we’re celebrating twenty-five years of unforgettable evenings and incredible impact! This isn’t just a fundraiser; it’s a full-on celebration of style, flavor, and generosity.
On March 5, from 6-9pm, dive into a chic cocktail-style soirée featuring wines from around the world, craft beers, and gourmet bites from the best local eateries. Feeling fancy? Stop by the cigar bar for that extra dash of sophistication. And don’t forget to strike a pose at the First National Bank 360 Photo Booth, because a night this fabulous deserves to be captured from every angle!
Looking for a little mystery and indulgence? Don’t miss the Donaubauer Group Wine Pull, featuring an exclusive, limited selection of wines. Each pull is a chance to uncork something extraordinary—whether it’s a bold red, a crisp white, or a rare vintage. It’s the perfect blend of excitement and sophistication, and every bottle supports the incredible mission behind the evening.
Then, at 9pm, the energy shifts as the ArTy Afterparty takes center stage. Explore the “Art on the Rocks” Art Show & Sale, sip something bold from the cash and coffee bar, indulge in sweet treats, and dance to the sounds of the amazing Ozark Riviera. Plus, the silent auction and art sale will be in full swing, giving you the chance to snag unique treasures while supporting a great cause.
Here’s the best part: every ticket does more than unlock two incredible parties. It helps fund essential services for those served by Bost, things like transportation, therapies, recreation, and free art, acting, and dance classes. So, while you’re sipping, bidding, and dancing the night away, you’re also giving someone the gift of independence, confidence, and joy.
One ticket. Two epic celebrations. Countless reasons to celebrate. Grab your friends, put on your party shoes, and join us for a night where glamour meets giving. Cheers to twenty-five years, and to you for making it all possible!
