"…good company, good wine, good welcome, can make good people."
— William Shakespeare, Henry VIII

Enjoy a special, five-course wine dinner featuring Mendocino County's oldest family-run winery, Parducci Wine Cellars! Set in the beautiful art-deco architecture of Café 36, this event provides a tasteful opportunity to join the FAC in its spring project: to explore the enduring, yet evolving, role of families. In addition to learning about and sampling artisan wines crafted by families, feast your eyes on the Families exhibitions, currently on view in the second-floor galleries. Joy Armstrong, FAC Assistant Curator, will be on hand to discuss exhibition themes and answer questions. Dinner prepared by the award-winning chefs of Picnic Basket.

Adults over 21 only. Identification is required for admission. $65, $60 FAC Members. To make reservations, contact the Box Office at 719.634.5583
