 Corks & Forks: A Night at the Movies

Take 4 – The Sequel You’ve Been Waiting For!

Secure your ticket for the 4th Annual Corks & Forks event, hosted by the Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership. Take a step back in time and enjoy a glamorous night at the movies — where the pairings will truly pop! Savor 10 celebrity-inspired wines — from iconic names like Coppola to Dolly Parton — each with a captivating story, perfectly paired with an elevated take on the classic movie snack: popcorn. 

Celebrate the evening with a dazzling array of elevated culinary features—from handcrafted charcuterie skewers and shrimp risotto shooters to fresh, layered salad verrines. Cap it off with chef-carved ribeye sliders and rich, four-cheese mac served in martini glasses. Every bite is a scene-stealer.
