A one-of-a kind wine and food adventure, Taste-ful: Off the Vine will incorporate international wine blends, delectable fare and an irresistible auction at Américas River Oaks. To bring out everyone's competitive spirit, there will be a blind tasting challenge with a grand prize that takes the winner out of town on a lovely wine holiday. This evening promises cool, autumn breezes as guests lounge, shop, eat, drink and dance under a harvest moon.

The event benefits Volunteer Houston's A Visit from Saint Nicholas program. Now in its 24th year, the initiative gifts more than 7,000 underserved Houston-area students with a backpack filled with holiday gifts on Dec. 6, St. Nicholas Day.
