This year’s HYP Wine Tasting event will be bigger, newer and more filling than ever! We will be hosting our annual wine tasting at one of Helena’s newest restaurants: The Union. Attendees will be treated to a new range of vintages presented by a sommelier from George's Distributing, who will present and describe the wines to each individual group table. Paired with these fine vintages, the head chef at The Union will prepare and serve a fine selection of appetizers to complement both the wines and those who seek to be a part of this fresh and vibrant experience.
Tickets are $35 for HYP members who sign up in advance, and $50 for non-members and walk-ins. This event is limited to 40 participants. We would not be seeking this new angle, venue or range of vintages and vittles if we did not think that it was worthy of you, and so we hope that you join us at our 4th annual HYP Wine Tasting Event!
