Pork + Pinot is under two weeks away and this year's theme? "In a bowl!"

Each year our sponsor, Iowa Pork Producers, comes up with a theme for our competing chefs to show off their skills with pork. We take the competing dishes and pair them with a different Pinot, and you get to decide your favorite!

This year we have: Prime & Providence, Palms DSM, Littleleaf Luncheonette, Sarinade, and two chefs from Tangerine!

Are you a Des Moines area chef and want the chance to throw your hat in the ring? Let us know! We would love to add you to our competition!

Meanwhile, get your tickets now! Only $65 for six dishes, seven w**es, and a night of good Fall fun!

As September comes to an end, we’re taking a moment to look back on an incredible Grand Tasting presented by BrownWinick with VIP presented by Benda Wealth. 🍷

From the w**es poured and dishes served to the conversations shared throughout Historic City Hall, it was a night filled with great food, great w**e, and even better company.

A huge thank you to our participating w**eries, distributors, restaurants, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who joined us to make this year’s Grand Tasting so special.

We’re already looking forward to the next one. Until then, cheers to a September well spent. 🥂

See you at our October events! Find them at w**efestdesmoines.com/events

Enjoy the fun vibe, live music, and delicious pork and w**e!

The library after hours? Yes, please.

Join W**efest Des Moines and the Des Moines Public Library Foundation for a one-of-a-kind evening of w**e, food, and exploring "Between the Stacks".

Guests will make their way through four themed stations, each featuring a different story, activity, and experience inspired by Des Moines and the library. Along the way, enjoy a w**e pairing and a bite from Tangerine at each stop.

Grab a glass, explore the library in a whole new way, try something new, and discover a few hidden gems along the way. No shushing required.
