7th Annual Not So Snooty Beer, Wine, and Cheese Tasting

Enjoy great locally crafted beer, wine and food in a unique setting while raising money for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.

Founded in 1988 by Paul Newman, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is a nonprofit, year-round center serving children and their families coping with cancer, sickle cell anemia, and other serious illnesses. Through summer sessions and family weekend programs at the Camp in Ashford, Connecticut, and year-round outreach to hospitals and clinics throughout the Northeast, the Camp will serve more than 17,500 children in 2011. All services are free of charge.

Savor the flavor of Connecticut's finest beverages and food among the vintage aircraft on display all around you at the New England Air Museum. Live music sets the tone for this exclusive and more intimate event.

A great opportunity to sample what the CT Beer Trail and the state's wine community have to offer under one roof while talking with some of the artisans behind these wonderful products.

Ticket Prices: $50 for military and $60 for general public. $70 at the door “IF AVAILABLE”.
