The fall calendar is full of neat fundraising events. We have been invited by AOE Arts Council to be involved in their annual event Lights Up the Night with ARTinis on Thursday November 7th that will illuminate both the upper and lower lobbies of the Shenkman Arts Centre, creating a giant luxury lounge while you enjoy culinary creations from 5 of Ottawa’s catering companies.
And a fun night like this calls for fun cocktails & good wines too. Our team of Savvy Sommeliers will be shining the spotlight on five Ontario wines at our Savvy Wine Bar, while our Cheese Sommelier Vanessa Simmons will be showcasing some of Ontario’s award winning artisan cheeses at the Savvy Cheese Bar.
