Wine for the Holidays

It’s been a long couple of weeks, and if you, like me, are looking to fight the stress with a glass of wine in one hand and a credit card in the other, then I’ve got you covered. On Saturday, the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association is hosting Wine for the Holidays, a sip-and-shop event with a curated selection of wines featured at more than 20 local stores. A ticket guarantees guests eight wine tasting tickets as they browse shops such as the Garment District, Marmalade and T-Blue Men’s. Plus, for those early holiday gift shoppers, some stores are offering complimentary gift-wrapping, while others are running enticing sales. The event also serves as a donation drive for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Attendees who bring a toy to donate receive extra tasting tickets.

Wine for the Holidays • Sat, Nov. 16 from 1-6 pm • $25-$30 • 21+ • Downtown Coeur d’Alene • Check-in at 210 E. Sherman Ave. • cdadowntown.com
