If you’re looking to taste food from the best restaurants, sip amazing wine or sample a wide range of regional brews, get your tickets for the annual Wine, Stein and Dine and be prepared to be wowed. Wine, Stein and Dine is celebrating its 20th annual event on March 7 at the Greyhound Events Center. This event brings together local restaurants, bakers and caterers serving up bites of their favorite dishes, all under the same roof. You will also have the opportunity to sample local and regional craft beer as well as a variety of wines. This year features additional hard ciders as they continue to grow in popularity. While the event sounds like a blast all its own, you will also take pride in knowing you’re helping to support education.
Wine, Stein and Dine benefits the Post Falls Education Foundation. “Really it started back in 1986 with a few moms selling baked goods and T-shirts,” recalled volunteer Valerie Wilcox. From the first organized event in 1996, it has grown to attendance of nearly 600 and an event people look forward to all year. Money raised goes to teachers in the Post Falls school district who apply for grants through the foundation. These grants help teachers bring in alternative learning options into the classroom.
“We sort through about 110 requests each year from K through 12 and special needs teachers,” said Wilcox. In the 19 previous events more than $500,000 was raised and organizers are hoping to see that number continue to soar.
Tickets to the event are $45 and include all you would like to eat and drink. There is a silent auction and raffle portion including a wine tree in which four different levels will be raffled off. Bill Bozley provides the musical entertainment and local culinary judges will award prizes for the best food and drink. Wine, Stein and Dine is casual and runs from 7 to 10pm. Tickets are available in Post Falls at Columbia and Mountain West Banks, Trading Company, Super 1 Foods, Enoteca, the Post Falls Chamber and Post Falls School District Office. You can also call 208.661.1880 and ask for Loretta or find more at www.pfefwsd.org or Facebook.
This event always sells out so be sure to get your tickets early and be prepared for an evening of great food and drink all benefiting our hard working teachers.
