Bubbly & Bourbon Tasting Experience
Saturday, October 24 | 3:30-4:30 OR (5-6 SOLD OUT) OR 6:30-7:30
I've partnered with Maplewood Brewing & Distillery for a seriously fun bourbon + Champagne pairing experience at Bubbly Side of Life!
A member of the Maplewood team will take us behind the bottle and walk us through the three bourbons we’ll be tasting.
We’ll also taste three seriously good Champagnes which will only be found in the the Holiday Champagne 3-Pack. This is the ONLY time these Champagnes will be available for a tasting!
ONE TICKET = TWO PEOPLE
Each ticket includes everything for both guests:
• 3-pour bourbon flight from Maplewood Distillery
• 3-pour Champagne tasting
• Bourbon education led by a member of the Maplewood team
• One $15 purchase credit per ticket
Your $15 credit can be used toward ONE of these:
• One bottle of Maplewood bourbon
OR
• The Holiday Champagne 3-Pack
There are 3 sessions: 3:30-4:30pm, (5-6pm SOLD OUT), & 6:30-7:30pm.
*All attendees must be 21+. Tickets are non-refundable, but are transferable with 24 hours notice.
Fall Leaves in Watercolor
Thursday, November 5 | 6:30-8pm
Celebrate the colors of the season in a relaxed watercolor workshop inspired by autumn leaves.
Using simple wet-into-wet techniques, you’ll learn how to create soft blends, beautiful color transitions, and expressive textures while exploring watercolor in an approachable, no-pressure environment.
Your finished leaves can be transformed into Thanksgiving place cards or wine glass tags, or strung together as a festive fall garland.
Included with your ticket:
-Glass of bubbly
-Step by step instructions with Heather from MAKEart Studios
-All supplies
*All guests must be 21+. Tickets are non-refundable.
Embossed Tin Gift Tags
Thursday, December 5 | 6:30-8pm
Pair creativity with a glass of bubbly as you create a one-of-a-kind embossed metal gift tag that doubles as an ornament.
Join Heather from MAKEart Studios at Bubbly Side of Life to learn simple metal embossing techniques while transforming thin metal into a vintage-inspired tag perfect for dressing up a favorite bottle of wine or perfectly wrapped gift.
Your finished piece can also be hung as a holiday ornament, making it a gift that lasts well beyond the season. Appropriate for beginners, with all supplies provided including a glass of bubbly, of course.
*All attendees must be 21+. Tickets are non-refundable, but are transferable with 24 hours notice.
