More than 30 top chefs from St. Louis private clubs and restaurants will prepare hors d’oeuvres, vegetables, fish, meats and desserts for guests to sample in a tapas-style setting at Mount Pleasant Winery. Wine selections to complement each meal will be available for purchase. A silent auction will be held as well.

Tickets are $45 per person and include admission, food tasting and a commemorative wine glass. Children under 10 are free. Wine and beverages are not included. For each ticket purchased before August 30, receive a coupon for free admission during the Mount Pleasant Winery 2008 band season. Reserved tables of ten or more are available for an additional $5 per person (call to reserve).
