Spirits of Revolution and a Thanksgiving Toast — A Spirited Fundraiser for Durand-Hedden

Experience the wines and spirits of Revolutionary America with local wine expert Hank Zona at an exclusive fundraising event for Durand-Hedden House & Garden on Thursday, November 19. Choose an intimate guided tasting of historic libations (space limited to just 20 guests!), a festive evening of local wines and beers, or enjoy both! This special fundraiser will support the preservation of the Durand-Hedden House and its major roof replacement project planned for 2027.

The evening will unfold in two parts. Beginning at 6:30 pm, Zona will guide guests through tastings of port, Madeira, sherry, and other libations enjoyed during the Revolutionary era, offering a glimpse and a taste of how Americans drank in the late 18th century.

Then, beginning at 7:45 pm, the evening turns toward Thanksgiving, with festive samplings of local wines and beers selected with the holiday table in mind.

Tickets for the 6:30 pm “Spirits of the Revolution” tasting include admission to “A Thanksgiving Toast” beginning at 7:45 pm.
