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.
