SEEDArts celebrates the holidays with a Wine Tasting and Silent Auction on Thursday, Dec 4, 6-8pm at the Columbia City Gallery.

Please join Sommelier Haley Black to learn about the wine traditions, techniques and tales of Italy as you taste six specially selected Italian wines and indulge in authentic Neapolitan cuisine provided by Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria. Local musican Ben Hunter will beguile you while you drink and dine with world and jazz tunes on the violin.

The Silent Auction offers a nice array of local gifts and experiences that will help you complete your holiday shopping and you might be the lucky winner of a half-case of specially selected Italian wines.
