[News Boquete] Wine Tasting and More

Charcuterie by Christopher Young Inclusión Boquete
Door prize, silent auction and great music by DJ Mike Webber

Experience a Unique Wine Tasting

Engage Your Senses
Feel free to photograph the bottles and take notes on each wine you taste. This way, when you visit a wine store in the future, you'll be able to choose a wine based on your experience rather than just the picture on the label.
Delight in Culinary Pairings
You'll also have the opportunity to pair your selected wines with a variety of delicious foods from our charcuterie boards, expertly prepared by Inclusion Boquete.
Additional Highlights
As a bonus, enjoy a silent auction and get a glimpse of Larry White's fabulous house.
Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity—you'll regret it if you do!
