This year’s Art of Wine theme is “Vintage Circus”—a whimsical nod to the charm and spectacle of old-world carnivals. Think velvet drapes, bold stripes, twinkling lights, and a dash of theatrical flair. It’s not a costume party, but don’t be surprised if you spot a ringmaster!
Expect surprises throughout the night that align with the theme — perhaps a contortionist or stilt walker, but always with a touch of elegance. Our goal is immersive fun that enhances your experience!
This event is not formal. The theme sets the vibe, but it’s up to you how far you want to go. Feel free to lean into vintage glamour, stripes, bold accessories—or just come ready to sip and savor in style.
Wear comfortable shoes as this event is spread through multiple spaces in our building and garden with limited access to seating.
Exclusive Art of Wine Merchandise will be available to purchase at the event. You are welcome to use the event app to pre-order yours today!
