Wine Dinner sponsored by

The success and excitement surrounding Wine Fest lead to the inclusion of an additional event, the Wine Dinner. Enjoy an evening of local culinary talent and award winning wines. The Wine Dinner is an opportunity for March of Dimes to honor our Wine Fest sponsors by treating them to courses from a variety of restaurants. Wine pairings will be arranged for each of the courses. A short live auction comprised of exclusive wines, works of art and celebrity experiences will round out the evening. Tickets are limited.

In 2010, 100 guests enjoyed an intimate 5 course dinner hosted in the Starlight Ballroom on the 29th floor of the Crowne Plaza Kansas City Downtown with wine pairings by Glazer's. The 2011 Wine Dinner will, again, be set against the Kansas City skyline in the Starlight Ballroom of the Crowne Plaza Kansas City Downtown. The evening will feature music by Jazz for Good.

We are thrilled to announce an exceptional line-up for our 2011 Wine Dinner! Courses will be presented by:

Chef Sam Cross of the Crowne Plaza Kansas City Downtown
Chef Charles d'Ablaing of Chaz on the Plaza at The Raphael Hotel
Chef Joe Shirley of the Federal Reserve Bank
